As AH-ree-el
in reply to a message by Seda*
I think of Ariel Sharon and that is how his names is pronounced in the news. But maybe English-speaking people always pronounce it as AIR-ee-el.I think Ariel is a good boy's name, but I don't like Ariel Sharon. But I like the meaning of Ariel (Good's lion, I think).But here it would probably be seen as a political statement (100% för Israel AND Ariel Sharon and his policy). I guess it is seen as a girl's name in USA."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
