I knew a man named Reuel years ago. I am not sure what you mean by your difference between Rule and Rool because I would pronounce both of those spellings the same -- unless you mean to rhyme Rool with "wool", but that's a shorter vowel sound to me than is found in Rule.

My friend pronounced his name as "rue-ull", but in everyday speech the two syllables often became one and rhymed with how I say "rule", "spool", and "cool."
