Help[Opinions] For my baby boy ( Ariel or Ariael)
About my son's name: Ariel vs. Ariael. I know Ariel is popular for girls (thanks, Disney!), but it's unisex! Both are pronounced Ah-ree-el, and I’ll use Ari / Arik as a nickname. Which do you prefer?
I actually created Ariael to be apart from little mermaid but some people have told me it's too made up.
My son has two middle names. Darius Levi. So in the end Ariael Darius Levi or Ariel Darius Levi?

I vote for Ariel
I do have an alternative, if you'd like to consider it; Eriol. It's pronounced pretty much the same. I don't know if its a real name, but its used on one of the characters from Cardcaptor Sakura who is (allegedly - plot reasons) from England.
Eriol or Ariael, I still prefer Ariel personally

Go with Ariel. It was an established Hebrew boys' name meaning "lion of God" long before the mermaid came along. It's honestly a ridiculous name for a Disney princess. If the name is meaningful to you, use it and teach your son to be proud of it. Alternatively, he can go by one of his middle names.
Definitely Ariel. Ariael is just confusing and honestly doesn’t look nice.
Definitely Ariel. B*gger Disney: the Shakespeare character is definitely male and without an extra letter to confuse the public.

Ariel. The extra a will cause spelling and maybe pronunciation issues
