My family have unusual names especially me and my sister (consequence of being half-Irish and half-cornish). Plus my parents adores unusual names. Here they are:

My mums name: Isolde Francesca "Izzy" (Shes Irish)
My father's name: Benedict William "Will"
My sisters name: Arya Deirbhile (pronounced Ar-ee-uh Jer-vi-la)
My name: Blair Eseld (pronounced Is-old- cornish spelling)
My half sister's name: Gabrielle Lise "Gabby" (All of a sudden French!)

Isolde Francesca is lovely. To be honest, I think the nickname Izzy kind of ruins it. If I met an Izzy I'd assume her full name was Isabel or Isabella - Isolde is so much nicer and it'd be nice to see it used in full.

I like Benedict William too.

For you and your sister, I love your middle names especially Eseld. Deirbhile is not a name I would use myself, but it's really pretty and it's so nice to see an irish name spelled in the original way.

Eseld

You guys have some really cool names!

I've always loved Eseld, but I had been pronouncing it ez-ELD. It's really pronounced the same way as Isolde? That messes with my head a bit.

I love Eseld. It's my favorite form of that name. I've always liked Deirbhile too.

I'm so happy to see Isolde and Eseld! They're major favorites of mine, but I don't know if I'd ever convince anyone to let me use them.
