I love this name! I pronounce it ee-SHEL.

I think that Ixchel's great! However, mispronunciation may be a bit problematic... I'd probably pair it with a more simple middle name (or names...), or use it as a middle name.

Too complicated? It depends. For a four-year-old, probably... For an adult obsessed with names, maybe not... :)

Ixchel is lovely. I've heard the same prn as you. If you seriously plan to use it you should consider spelling it Ichelle or even Echelle, though, just to make the prn more obvious.

It throws me off. I think it'd be neat to see in real life but I'd hate to be given the challenge of pronouncing it on the fly. :-/

I have met two girls named Itzel, though. Similar name, a bit less mystery. It was a pretty cool sighting.

I like it a lot. As far as I know, eesh-chel is correct. That's how it was said in Apocalypto.

It sounds very indigenous to Mexico. It might be complicated to some, but I like it.

I really, really like it. However, it's the name of a planet in some book.
