Re: Melisande

Pretty, though I keep pronouncing it "mel-ih-SAHN-dee/mel-ih-SAHN-day" because it looks vaguely Greek to me (yes, I know it's really French. My brain just refuses to believe it), even though I'm pretty sure that pronunciation is all wrong. Still, I definitely like the look of it!
Nicknames could be Mel, Lisa, Lissa, Lissy, Issy, Sandy, Ann, or Andi / Andy.

That is how Julius (DH) pronounces it too. Automatic DEH on the end. But, simple correction and now he says it May-lee-SAHND, with his accent.
My accent sounds more like Mel-ih-SAHND.
