WDYT of Urielle? oor-ee-EL



  • Pretty
  • Is ok, no objections to its use
  • Like the name but not the spelling
  • Definitly don't like the sound of it

I adore Uriel as a boys name but Urielle looks far too girly and it's not a girls name to me (or anyone who's familiar with the Archangels)

I googled Uriel and found this at answers.com: One of the archangels named in the Apocrypha and in Hebrew tradition. (Here's the link with pronunciation included: http://www.answers.com/topic/uriel )

behindthename.coim has a listing for Uriel and here it is:
URIEL
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Biblical, Jewish
Pronounced: YUWR-ee-el
Extra Info: Popularity, Namesakes, Comments
Options: Contribute Information, Add to List
From the Hebrew name Uri'el which meant "God is my light". Uriel was one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition. He is mentioned only in the Apocrypha.

So you can see why I see it only as a boys name and only with the spelling Uriel. I adore Uriel on a boy!

don't mean to be gross on here, but anything that'd start with Uri would immediately make me think of urine - sorry

Yep, I automatically thought Urine too. Just doesn't have a positive sound, IMHO.
