Muriel

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Just seen it mentioned on here in passing and it struck me as beautiful.

What are your thoughts on Muriel?

Terrible, Muriel.

Great film. Cool name.

No. I don't like it, sorry. I don't want to say more on case a Muriel reads it.

Love the film. Don't like the name. But if you do - go for it.

No.

It was my nan’s name but I don’t particularly like it. If I was to use it though I would spell it Murielle. I feel like it looks a lot prettier.

Love the name Muriel.

Oh, no. There was one in Crossroads (sorry, I know ancient history) but it will always be linked to a dreary dim-witted woman, as I remember. It doesn't sound nice said out loud. Meriel is similar but sounds fresher.

YOU'RE TERRIBLE MURIEL

Always my first thought

It's a family name for me but not one I'd use. Meriel is very pretty.

She'll change it to 'Mariel' in future, but then back to Muriel when she realises it's not working out....😁

I don't like it. It just seems a very "elderly" (sorry) name to me.

Others might disagree though and if you like it then go for it. It certainly isn't actually amongst the worst name suggestions I have ever seen and isn't particularly "off the wall." I just don't like it.

I like it. It’s a Gaelic name, from the word muir, which means sea. So don’t change the spelling, or you’d leave that meaning.

I very much associate it with ” You’re Terrible Muriel “ - sorry

How about Margot? Love that!

Urgh no. Sorry.
Though I don't like the Elsie/Margot old lady name phase that we're in right now.

Definately no, it's horrid

It's ok.

I do prefer:

Meriel
Merla
Marina
Merryn
Meryl
Merle
Morwenna

Though :)

Really nice meaning. (Bright Sea)
I once met a lovely French student with that name.
Meriel an ancient and equally nice version.

Much, much prefer Meriel.

Absolutely adore the meaning "of the bright sea" - couldn't think of a lovlier meaning.

It's quite dated and sounds and looks horrible to me, sorry OP. As pp mentioned just a small letter change - to Meriel (if you want to keep the Irish origin and meaning) or the more modern European Mariel (like Hemingway) makes a big difference and makes it much more attractive and useable.

Really, really dislike Muriel. Meriel is beautiful 😍

I had a great aunt called Muriel. She was known as Mu or Mumu.

Muriel is my grandmother's name. I don't like it.

Chandler Muriel Bing.

I actually think it's lovely. Beautiful meaning and relatively unusual these days. Meriel is even nicer.
