Oriel

[weeducky]

Family name that I really love. Thoughts? For a girl.

Poor kid gonna be Oreo.

Middle name at the very most....

Golden Oriel.

No. Kids will call her oral.

Lovely. Interesting. It's a window, though, isn't it? So I'd probably go for Ariel.

Don't even go there.

First thing that came to mind was the fact it’s the name of the recruitment portal for post-grad medics, dentists, pharmacists…

Made me think of L'Oréal if I'm honest

Oral. Was my first pronunciation in my head.

Window.

washing powder

Lovely but will be misheard frequently.

Made me think of the recruitment portal.

I used to go to Oriel Bank School...so I'd really have to say no 🤣

I was at school with an Oriel, I've liked it ever since. Its meaning is "golden" which is lovely.

Is it pronounced Or-ree-ell or Or-ree-ul or something else?

Biscuit 🍪 anyone!😲🤣

It was my grandmother's name, we didn't have much of a relationship.

We have one in the family. She hates it. But I also had a friend called Auriole, which I always really liked. Same name, more usual spelling IMO. And of course Aurelia is v popular now…

I know an Aurielle. She is called Auri for short. I'm not sure I like Oriel so much.

Biscuits or Soap powder.

Sorry but no from me

I like it!

Window, bird, Oxford college.
It sounds nice but I think has too many other meanings.

Nah

It’s a boys name from the Catalan region of Spain.

Would you have enjoyed school with a name that sounds like 'oral'? She's going to endure jokes about it for her whole life. Aurielle/Aurelia is a safer bet.

It’s beautiful. Love it as a middle name.
