Isild/Isilda/Isilde
What do you think of these names and which do you prefer? Have you ever met someone named this? I can't find much about them, but they seem to be related to Iseult and Isolde which I like. Someone suggested it to me and it does kind of fit my style. Any combo suggestions?

Isilda looks to me like one of those Latin American mashup names - Isabel + Hilda maybe? and the INSEE data for Isilde / Isild in France suggests that it's a recent invention. I like all three of them - especially as they remove the 'is old' problem with Isolde etc. in English. Lacking in combos though, sorry!

I was thinking about the 'is old' problem and these.

I prefer Isolde / Isolda.

I prefer Isolde and Iseult, and I find them more useable. Isild and Isilda are nice, but I'm not sure how easy they really are to use.

Agreed, I prefer Isolde.

I think they all look wrong. I get Ishild, I've never heard of it but it sounds like something that might be used in Norway. The others...just no.
I do like Isolde though, and I've met one.

Do you pronounce the "s"? (I probably could find out elsewhere, but you must know.)If I'm not being clear, As one doesn't say the "S" in the word "island".I haven't met anyone with these names;quite nice, though.

Not sure, I've seen Isilda with hispanic surnames so I'm assuming that will be pronounced ee-sild-ah. I've seen a French actress called Isild, but it looks Germanic so not quite sure how to prn.

There now,I didn't know it was hispanic.
With that pronounciation, a very pretty name. Quite useable,I'd say.
