I saw the ballet Gisele when I studied in Russia, and I couldn't name a girl after her. In the ballet, a duke runs away from palace life (and an arranged marriage) to a village. He falls in love with a girl (Gisele) there, and proposes. A villager who loves Gisele tries to talk sense to her, doesn't trust the stranger. The other fiancee, with a whole hunting group, comes to the village and the truth comes out. Gisele ends up dead, and her ghost forgives the duke, and some spirits kill the other villager, who was right all along.
