Re: Gildas and Joseph

Gildas just doesn't work very well in an English-speaking area. It just looks like more than one Gilda, which might have been a neat gag on Saturday Night Live way back when Gilda Radner was on there. The Zheel-da pronunciation sounds very unattractive and not at all masculine or handsome to me.
Joseph is a true classic and can work on just about anybody. I don't care for the full name used in everyday life, but really like Joe as a nn. Not Joey, that's too little-brat.
