Mireille (meer-AE) vs. Mirae/Miray

We live in the US, but we are the only people in our entire families that do. Every other family member is in France. We want a French name, but we also want it to work on an girl that will grow up in the US. This is our favorite name. If we spell it Mireille, our families will be happy (and we will too), but most Americans may say it wrong. If we change the spelling to Miray/Mirae, Americans will be able to pronounce it, but our family probably wont like that we're changing the spelling of the name. We visit France at least once a year, and our daughter will (hopefully) be fluent in both English and French. We are pretty sure we will use this name either way its spelled. thanks! -L and J

Genie's Mailbag

Hannah in Tennessee
Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
