What do you think of this name for a girl?

I like it but think I prefer Merryn.

I don't love it.

Merryn is much nicer.

I really like Meriel and it just isn't Muriel, Ariel or anything else.

Love it. Beautiful and it doesn't remind me of Muriel.

It reminded me of Muriel's Wedding too. That said, I do think it's quite a nice name.

Quite pretty. Although Muriel is probably more well known.( Reminds me of the film Muriel's wedding. She changed her name to Mariel. Love that film! Sorry slightly off topic )

pretty, but it would sound like and/or mistaken for Mary-el or Muriel to me, I sense much trouble ahead always correcting people!(not sure how you plan to pronounce it)

also the "eriel" part is too similar to Ariel (washing powder?) or aerial

would you go for Miriel & Miriella?
(just made these up,don't know if they exist or not!)
bit more clarity and cohesion for sounding a spelling

I like it but it sounds too much like Muriel, I bet you'd get that all the time, so don't use it if that would drive you potty.

How about Meridith? Merry for short? I thought about this for DD but bottled it because I was worried that she'd get teased every time she wasn't 'merry'!
