I like it. I don't know why but I think it sounds patriotic in a French way. I'm confused about the pronunciation at the first look, but I got used to the original pronunciation after several times trying.

I think it's beautiful. Like Miranda, it's shimmery and summery.

I've never cared for Mireille. It's too airy, flighty even. I prefer the more grounded Mirèio and Mirella.

It would probably cause issues in the English speaking world, but I like it!
How about Mia, Miriam, Mila, or Mirabelle?

It's beautiful, but there would be pronunciation issues in the English-speaking world.

It's one of my favourite French names. I also like the Spanish form: Mireya.

I'm divided about this name. It seems charming and romantic, but it can also seem cloying and twee.
The only Mireille I've ever met was a very pampered Yorkshire Terrier. It suited her.

Mireille is kind of like Mia ... which I like. So I think I might end up liking it. even though the American English pronunciation is probably a butchery of the French. Charlotte and Amelie are no different, and it doesn't really matter. Unless people were to do that thing they did with reveille (say it "revel-E"). I wouldn't be open to that. Miraly sounds cool, but spelled Mireille, I'd think it's kinda bad.

I prefer Mireia. I mean, for a romantic vibe that isn't so twee.
Mireille could be like an updating of Michelle and Renee. Less classic, more gimmicky - but still, same basic idea.

I taught a girl named Mireille once; a totally unremarkable child, so her name didn't suit her at all. Nothing wrong with it; it just didn't fit.

I think it's very very pretty, I would be happy if it caught on some :)

It looks very feminine but it doesn't feel too girly or princessy

A nightmare for English pronunciation. The sound is nice but I don't think it would catch on due to pronunciation issues.
