How do you/would you pronounce Melisande?
What do you think about it?
I'm withholding judgment until I know what it sounds like :o)

I would say 'MELL-ih-sand' or 'ell-ih-SAND'. It's a cool name but I prefer Melicent.

pronunciation
I believe it would be meh-lih-SAHND, the final e being silent. Just like Melissa, the "me-" and "li-" syllables would be short and mild. The emphasis would be on the final syllable, somewhat drawn out.

mel-ih-SAWN-dee.
I actually like it. It's a nice alternative to Melissa (I also use it as a sort of nickname for my friend Melissa sometimes)

I'd pronounce it, Mel-ee -sand, equal stress on each syllable, but that's just a guess. If that's how one says it, i love it.

I like Melisandre, too, and used it in a game the other day! Is it a real name? It's not in the name banks.

It's a pretty popular french name.
Theres also Mélissandre that would be pronounced like sss rather than zzz :)

I actually have no idea. Mélisandrée is probably a combination of Melissa and Andrée or Mélisande and Andrée, but I don't even know if it's a real name, but I know someone named that.
(Wow I have problems with my spelling tonight! lol)
