I like the sound of Ariel Pearl.
My name is rarely spelled correctly (it's K-a-r-i), and it's mispronounced about 50% of the time. It's pronounced like the verb "carry", but I get "car (like a vehicle)-ee". It's pretty constant, but it's never been anything that drove me crazy. I kinda have it both ways...pretty common name, but still messed up all the time.
I say it depends on the person...some will never be satisfied with their names, no matter how much consideration you put into how it could affect their lives. I have seen a lady named Donna who changed the pronunciation to "doe (like a deer)-NAH" and another lady named Cheryl who changed it from "SHARE-uhl" to "CHAIR-uhl." hahaha go figure!
Long story short...don't name your girl Pit Bull or Girl or something out of control like that, but don't stress too much, either. My own mother didn't love the name Clara until after our girl was born.![]()
