"A Flemish celeb has two daughters. One is called Céleste, a French name, the other, Merel. I have never heard their names pronounced out loud, like on a video. But I wonder if this woman herself pronounces this name in Dutch or - being a Belgian - in French. (Why would you give your two daughters of nearly the same age names, one in pure Dutch and one in pure French? It's like calling your sons Jonathan and Seamus.) Still, if "Merel" were a French name, pronounced "muhREL", then it would have an accent (Mérel), which would make it totally silly, as in French it would be spelled "Mérelle". (Maybe I should listen to this woman talking about her daughters. However, I'm interested in language, not silly Flemish kids.)"
