[Opinions] Muriel?
What do you think about Muriel? Is it still fusty? Ugly? Or is it just waiting for its turn to shine?

I love it. I think it rises above duty-fusty-frump into beauty.
However, I am well aware that my opinion of the name is not universal. This is the main reason that Miriel or Mirielle is on our list instead of Muriel / Murielle.
I think the nn Muri is beyond adorable too.
I think it will come into the retro-chic popularity ring in a few years. I mean, people were gasping at Edith only a couple years ago, and it's poised (online) to be the next big name in throwbacks.

Muriel is a lovely name. It deserves to be used more often!
That mew at the beginning puts me off every time.
Mariel, on the other hand, could really do well.

Muriel. It's the "yuh" sound that makes it unpleasant to me. The same sound that is in "urine".
I also automatically think of mural. I wouldn't say fusty, just kind of not particularly pleasant.

It is unattractive and will not shine.
