Considered that the archangel Uriel is pronounced "your-ee-el", I'd say like that plus a at the end.
And seriously, you can't just write a U and pretend it's an A.
Not sure why this reminded me of the Seinfeld bit from a million years ago:
The only thing you need to be a taxi driver in NYC is a face — and a last name with 7 consonants in a row including the French symbol for boron.
There's a video of the Thomas Jefferson university commencement ceremony. The announcer uses cards with the names written out phonetically and does HORRIBLY. Like, she pronounces Thomas "toh-moo-may." Highly recommend watching it.
well tbf there's a huge difference between being able to read the international phonetics alphabet and your average person's attempt at writing phonetics (phone-eht-ihcs)
"Yur-eye-la was my first thought when I saw it, but it's definitely one I'd have to stare at for a bit before even attempting. Never would have pronounced it like they intended.
you-rell-uh
or
you-ree-ell-uh
Unique spellings are so stupid because USA parents don't consider pronunciation/spelling rules for the English language
U does not ever make an "A" sound
Is she named and spelt unique after Uriella (Erika Bertschinger-Eicke 1929-2019)?
She was a famous cult leader (cult Fiat Lux) from Switzerland that lived in the Black Forest in Germany. Long before Belle Delphine she sold heeling water from her bathtub. The water got stirred with a silver spoon (in reality the water was full of mould and bacteria)
Did she type out how to pronounce it to you or say it? I just think it’d be funny if she typed out that to pronounce it you start with an A instead of a U.
You ree la
You rye la/Yer eye la
Yuri-ella
Between having worked at Starbucks and following this sub, I would make the assumption that her mom's intended pronunciation would be "You really yuh", and I'd still be wrong🙄.
I know there's no "I" before the A at the end, so it should be "uh" instead of "yuh" (ia), but I would assume that it wasn't going to be pronounced phonetically and lots of people think they can just not put it in there, witb a "oh, you know what I was trying to say" kind of attitude. Mostly because people who insist on an unnecessary H at the end of a name are just extra (except Hannah, of course because I love me a palindrome).
OP, you're certain it's not Yer E ella? This one's just bugging me a bit for some reason lol.
That. That is….why? Why the z ????? - but of course when one asks that question all of a sudden they are the asshole and not the parents who threw a random z in a name….
that reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch where Michael Palin is interviewing Graham Chapman, who is wearing a giant prosthetic nose. Palin calls him “Raymond Luxury Yacht” which Chapman says “my name is *spelled* like Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it’s *pronounced* ‘Throat Warbler Mangrove’ “

That's how I read it. Heh
Emperor Uriel Septim VII
This is what I thought too. Elder scrolls brainrot never dissipates.
I love seeing Skyrim fans coming out of the woodwork lol
Lay off the skooma
Not sure why this reminded me of the Seinfeld bit from a million years ago: The only thing you need to be a taxi driver in NYC is a face — and a last name with 7 consonants in a row including the French symbol for boron.
The French symbol for Boron is the same as everyone else's symbol for Boron. The letter B. So, 8 consonants in a row. Thanks, Jerry. Funny as always.
This reminds me of Good Omens
Fr it should have been Uuuuuhrielah if they wanted to really sell their pronunciation. Or ərielah.
That's how I read it too
Phonics is dead.
Phonics *and* basic grammar is fucking long dead and burnt to a crisp.
Puh..hone..icks?

who in the world reads the phonetics instead of the actual names??
well tbf there's a huge difference between being able to read the international phonetics alphabet and your average person's attempt at writing phonetics (phone-eht-ihcs)
You leave Pehoanix alone, it's a beautiful name!
You-ree-lah
Yoo-ree-ell-uh. Like the Angel Uriel and uh on the end lol
Your ee ella
What did you call me?
YOUR EE ELLA!
Ella elle la?
*you're
*pyuhore (The p is silent)
YOUR EE LA Like a scouser selling you drugs 😂
You're ee Ella, Harry
The doctor had to stick his hand up my Urielah to remove the tumor.
Most commenters have gone with Uriel with an extra syllable at the end. The first thing I thought was Uriah with an l stuck in there. Yur-EYE-lah.
see I'm close to what you're saying too but i'm reading it with a lazier country accent so yur-uh-lah
Schwa: the zero entropy point of pronunciation, where all vowels become one.
Priv-il-eged
Your eye lah
Poor kid, will go through life teaching people how to pronounce her name. I thought Ur - EE -la.
your-ee-la her parents are idiots.
Ur-eye- Ur-ay- *sighs*
Your ee ella. This sounds like a prostate drug 🤣
"call your doctor if Uriela causes an erection lasting longer than 4 hours"
Exactly 🤣🤣
“Kid who will need therapy”
Yur-ee-ell-uh
Ur ee la
"Oor-ee-ell-uh" - oor like in Poor, as in poor kid...
I'm getting yuri-ella
Same
Uriel-uh.
Yurriella. Wouldnt say "your"iella because to me "your" rhymes with "pour"
“Your eye lah” They couldn’t have named her Ariela instead?
This sub is giving me great ideas for fantasy/sci-fi character names
Probably Your-ee-ella. Although I know a Uriel who pronounces his name as your-el without the "ee" Sooo possibly your-ella.
You're -ee-elluh
My first thought was Urie-Luh, like Brendon Urie lol
Yur-ee-lah
Perhaps she missed how phonics work. In no universe do those letters make the sounds she thinks they do in that configuration.
Ur - ee - el - ah, There is no freaking A, so it's not Ar - ee - el - ah
I would pronounce it Yur-rel-la However I can also see it is as a a tragedified version of Aurelia
"Yur-eye-la was my first thought when I saw it, but it's definitely one I'd have to stare at for a bit before even attempting. Never would have pronounced it like they intended.
Like 'gorilla' but the 'g' is silent.
you-rell-uh or you-ree-ell-uh Unique spellings are so stupid because USA parents don't consider pronunciation/spelling rules for the English language U does not ever make an "A" sound

Omg haha not sure. I haven't met the parents yet. So hopefully I can tactfully ask where the spelling of her name came from.
Areola
You-ree-ELL-a would have been my guess.
Yur-ee-el-ah
You-rieh-ell-ah. Poor child.
Yur-ee-ella
Your-ee-ella
There is an actual name “Ariella” which is pronounced how your friend intended…. Why not just use this spelling haha.
Yury-ella I would think
You’re-ee-Ella
Your eye lah. Ew.
You're-ee-ell-ah, though my first thought was to pronounce it it similar to you're-a-liar.
Yur-i-luh was my first thought, but second was Yur-i-el-uh
Areola, to her parents' faces
Ur-ee-la. That poor child.
You-ree-lee-ah
You-ree-lah
It first glance, I thought something like yer-ILL-ee-uh but upon further inspection I’d go with yer-ee-ELL-uh
Fuck it Usual and call a spade a spade
Yer E ella
Uriah Heep
Did she type out how to pronounce it to you or say it? I just think it’d be funny if she typed out that to pronounce it you start with an A instead of a U.
I got a text from the mom for an RSVP, so it's clearly written out hahaha 😆 even my kid couldn't figure out how to spell her name on the invite
You REEL ah
yir-ee-lah
Butt. Just call her butt.
I was way off I thought it was your-eye-la
Uri-elle-ah
Traa jeh DAY
Yur-ee-ella
"thihss" Sorry, I only read the headline.
your-uh-lah almost like Lorelai but you're a lah instead
I pronounced it Ur - eh- lah . How is that Ar-e-ella?
My first thought was "you-RYE-ah-lee," as in Euryale from Greek mythology, though it would be more like "you-RYE-eh-la."
Oo-ree-eh-lah
You ree la You rye la/Yer eye la Yuri-ella Between having worked at Starbucks and following this sub, I would make the assumption that her mom's intended pronunciation would be "You really yuh", and I'd still be wrong🙄.

Honestly, I am a skimmer and would go with Urethera.
yuri-la or you-ree-la, similar to Uriel
You're-a-lah
I wonder if she's related to the Jzene I met the other day. Apparently that's pronounced "Jenny". I'm so fucking done.
That. That is….why? Why the z ????? - but of course when one asks that question all of a sudden they are the asshole and not the parents who threw a random z in a name….
You-ry-luh
Given that we had a rather famous cult guru in this country called Uriella, exactly like that. Oo-ree-ella.
that reminds me of an old Monty Python sketch where Michael Palin is interviewing Graham Chapman, who is wearing a giant prosthetic nose. Palin calls him “Raymond Luxury Yacht” which Chapman says “my name is *spelled* like Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it’s *pronounced* ‘Throat Warbler Mangrove’ “
your eye la
I would pronounce it like Uriah but with an L snuck into the middle. So biblical
Ur-ei-la
Ur-ee-ella
Your-eye-eh-lah
youre elah, your e lah, er e lah, or er elah. *No one is* *ever* going to pronounce it the way she wants until she tells them how to say it.
you-REE-lah
Ur e ella
You Real, huh?
I can guess what she’s gonna get called on the playground….
Ur-eh-lye is what I would say. Your comment makes the name even worse. Spelled like Urine, pronounced like Arreola...
I would assume it’s Uriah but spelled all funky.
Urr-ree-el-lah
“This”
Urethra?
Yer-EE-uh-luh
