It depends on the name.

In this case, I think it would be fine. In my case with Mireille, I'd prefer invert the vowels so that Mirielle is phonetically correct and not confusing, because everyone would butcher Mireille and Mirielle is almost as nice. But some names I would say it might matter. It's also a personal preference, I think, on a "how much do I care?" level.

Mireille is mee-ray, while Mirielle would be meer-yel. Quite different imho...

I believe the point she's making is that Americans would mispronounce Mireille as Mirielle so much that it's easier just to love Mirielle itself.Array
