HelpRe: Lilac Mireille? (m)
in reply to a message by Ciarda
Thank you! :)
When I first saw the name, I was like, 'How in the heck do you pronounce this?? Mir-elle, mir-eye-ll...?'
Once I found out the correct pronunciation, I fell in love with it and I can't stop saying it, LOL. Pronunciation is something I'd potentially have to address if I ever use it because I doubt that anyone in my locale will pronounce it correctly (unless they're French or have a French background).

Out of curiosity, what is the correct pronunciation?
They way I'm saying it is Lilac Mir-ee-elle, and it sounds lovely to me!
