[Opinions] Re: Ariel
in reply to a message by sprout
It's my name, which probably makes me biased
against the variant versions. :) I genuinely think it works well for multiple genders. Funny that you made this thread. I was just thinking about making a thread on it because I was wondering how heavily European posters associate it with the detergent brand. I feel like people associated it less with Disney when I was outside of the U.S., in any case.
I like Isaac Ariel as a more masc combo. Unfortunately, my MN flows terribly with my first name because it honors someone. My hypothetical twin sister would have been Miranda Marian and I feel like that was a decent sibset concept. My real sibling is named Calvin.
eta: My parents got engaged before the Disney movie and already decided their first daughter would be Ariel at the time. My dad always thought it was a cool name and then liked it as a Shakespeare ref too eventually.
