HelpRe: Thoughts on these names for twins
in reply to a message by Lovekids
I've met siblings named Jackson & Jillian nn's Jack and Jill.
I like Denver and Dakota though I like Dekota/Dekotah better.
Curious, does adding "te" to Violet change the pronunciation at all?
We love the name Violet but I kinda like the spelling Violette now.
Same with Ariel & Juliet, I love Arielle and Juliette but hate the spellings, Ariel & Juliet.
At one point, I considered using Hazel spelled Hazelle but everyone wanted to argue that it changes the name completely.

No, she was still called just “Violet”... at first I thought it would be pronounced “Vi-oh-lett” with emphasis on the last syllable, but it wasn’t.
I pronounce Juliet and Juliette the same, but prefer Juliet.
I do think I would pronounce Ariel and Arielle differently. I would instinctively say “Air-ee-uhl “ for Ariel, but “Air-ee-elle “ for Arielle.
I do think Hazelle changes the name. I would say it with an “elle “ on the end instead of “Haze-uhl “

I guess it is just my southern accent but I say Arielle and Hazelle with the "elle".

Probably:)
My in laws are very southern and a lot of words they say very differently than I do, being a Northern girl.
