Which one do you prefer?

Which name (and which spelling of that name) do you prefer? Adele/Adèle or Ariel/Arielle?

And what do you think of the name Henri/Henry?

Edit: The names will be pronounced in French if that makes any difference.

I'd say it depends on where you live. I would avoid using French accents in a child's name if they're likely to end up in a school system that won't accommodate them on records, standardized tests, etc. Though I see from your profile that you're in Canada, so that might not be a problem for you.

I really prefer Ariel to Arielle. I just think that Ariel is prettier. I don't really have a preference for the other two.

Accents are not an issue where I live, my daughter's name has an accent. But I guess with Adele, I don't see that it does anything specific to the name...?
