HelpRe: Iselin
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
I'd say Iselin like "ice-lynn". So Iz or Izzy wouldn't happen. Ice or Icy would though!
...ok I looked it up and I see that I'm saying it super wrong. Iseline would be the spelling that I'd pick for clearer hint on pronunciation. Also I feel like Iseline looks less like a modern name (which I originally thought Iselin was) and more Medieval Norwegian, which is bad ass.
What about Lina for a nickname? Still not short enough for Australians?
Iselin Årolilja
Iselin Astri
Iselin Katharina
Iselin Kaja
Iselin Elida
Iselin Genevieve
Iselin Kristiana
Iselin Marianne
Iselin Amity
Iselin Odette
Iselin Oliana
Iselin Hanna
Iselin Silvia

You're the second person to give that pronounciation, which is a good thing- I'd never even thought of that being a possibility. TBH that puts me off even more than the potential Iz and Izzy- I don't mind the -lyn part, but I do not like the Ice- part at all.
I do like the look of Iseline. But I'd be worried that would lead to people pronouncing it -line. Something to think about.
I think Lina is probably not intuitive enough for many Aussies. We do like to keep things simple and no-nonsense.
But it doesn't seem like anyone wants to say it with an Iz- sound so that seems like a less likely possibility. I was thinking people might be inclined to pronounce it like Isabella.
And Izzy would be better than Ice/Icey, anyway!!!
Thanks for the combo suggestions! My favourites are Iselin Kaja, Iselin Genevieve and Iselin Hanna.
