Hi !!!

Ghislaine de Féligonde?
Yes. It seems the name of a Duchess or a Medieval princess.
It is quite elegant.

But if I think about Ghislaine it has a complex sound that is quite unpleasant. It is not familiar to me.

I only like it pronounced with a hard 'g' 'Gee LEN', rather than 'zhis len'

But really I find the beauty of this name is how it looks written down

It's funny I've never heard it said with a hard G. I've met a few women with this name and they all pronounce it 'zheez-LEN', but they are all French so I guess that's why.
