How do you pronounce
Ghislaine?
Guru had a thread on
Sunday the 23rd about
Gisela. In my response I mentioned how much I liked
Ghislaine and gave a pronunciation guide, "gheez-LEN," with a hard "g" sound. Another poster pointed out that it should be "zheez-LEN" and sure enough that's what the link to
Ghislaine says too.
I first heard the name on a minor character in a French film and it was pronounced with a hard "g." It made sense because of the "h" after the "g." But now I'm not so sure. Perhaps there are different ways of saying it depending on where one lives. I'd be grateful for any information and if you could tell me how you know that would be really appreciated. :-)
Thanks!
