Help[Opinions] Re: Gisela
in reply to a message by guru
If you are pronouncing it with a hard "g" then I love it. I met a German woman named Gisela ("GHEE-zel-uh") once. Lovely. I prefer Ghislaine ("gheez-LEN"), but Gisela is just as nice.

Ghislaine is pronounced zheez-LEN, isn't it? Because it's French?

Ghislaine is pronounced with a hard "g" sound at the beginning even in French. That "h" after the "g" keeps it hard. You would be correct if not for the "h."
I saw a French movie with a minor character named Ghislaine and that's how it was pronounced. I know the BtN link says otherwise. I don't know what to say about that. Perhaps another poster can help us out.
