Help[Opinions] Gisela and Giselle have nameday today
in reply to a message by Rachel
in Sweden. I like them both. I pronounce Gisela with a hard G and Giselle with a G like Zh.
If you don't like Gisela enough to use as fn, you could use it as mn. Much more interesting than Grace, Rose, Elizabeth etc. Or maybe Giselle if it flows better.
"You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

Today is the name day?
Ha! I didnt even notice!
I wouldnt use Gisela. Not even in the middle name spot.
In my religion we name outr kids after someone who meant a lot to the parents, but are deceased (usually family members).
I was named after my moms favorite great-aunt & someone else....I think my dad's grandmother.
I still find the name Gisela beautiful.
If it was used in the 1st name spot, kids would probobly call the girl 'Geezer' or something like that.
This is my resting spot
I can let myself breathe
I may not be perfect
But at least I am free
