So just for regional curiosity, how would y'all pronounce the storm's name?
Here in Texas, I've always heard it pronounced Burl (my great-grandmother was a Beryl), but a Yankee talk show host yesterday referred to it as "Barrel," more or less. (He's from Montana, so perhaps we can make allowances.)

I am sure it is pronounced Barrel.
I had a friend in high school named Doyle. But he was "Dole" to us.

Thank you for asking that. I always thought Burl as you said, but keep hearing Barrel too....it sounds weird, and who would name a kid Barrel?

My boss in England's name was Beryl.
She had American friends and it used to amuse her when they called her Burl.
We would pronounce it Berrill.
What's in a name?

So just for regional curiosity, how would y'all pronounce the storm's name?Beryl is one of those names I look at and say, "the storm off the East coast headed toward New England."
