someone i know from high school has a daughter named Ryelah, it's not a terrible name after you say it a few 20 times, and pretend like she's never going to grow up. but now she's pregnant with another girl, whom she plans to name Rozella, i didn't know whether to puke in my mouth or cry for the poor child.

wdyt?

Ryla would be kind of cute. Rosella would also be cute. The spellings are pretty bad though.

This exactly.

i was gonna comment Rosella would be better, too

Made up name, which bothers me anyway, and sounds too childlike for my comfort, but I think a different spelling would have done wonders - Rila, Ryla, Raila. Something that could work on an adult who wishes to be taken seriously from time to time.

Now, Rozella. There's no saving that. What's wrong with Rose, Rosemary, Rosalind?

I think I like Rozella better. How is Ryelah even pronounced?

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

like it's spelled, Rye(like the bread)-Lah(l-uh)

they're better than neveah and the like.

roselle is one of my favorite names, so i'm not too bothered by rozella (although i think rosella looks a lot better).

i read ryelah as ry-LEE-uh at first, and i think i like that pronunciation better.

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

it's Rye-lah. and i like Roselle just fine, it's the the ella ending...

Ryelah made me instantly think of H.P. Lovecraft

Me too.

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

Yup - me too.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

too bad they didn't go with R'lyeh. They cold have said you know like the lovecraft story...

I like Rozella better than Ryelah, at least it's obvious how you pronounce Rozella...Rosella would be prettier, but eh. She could still go by Rose if she wants a more classic name. I don't know what poor Ryelah could go by...

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

i find Ryelah to be more obvious on pronunciation, it just rye-luh. i'm confused if Rozella is Rose-ella or Roz-ella....

[vanish.livejournal.com]

How does she pronounce Ryelah? I read it as "ree-EL-ah" in my mind, but I'm probably wrong!

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

just Rye-lah, like the bred and Luh i guess.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

i though it was a bad spelling of riley. i bet they'll get called that a lot.
