How is Geileis pronounced? Have you ever heard of it. Just seen it written down (a colleague's niece). Will ask later.

Sounds pretty and unusual.

Do you want to know what this means in German?

Geil = horny/lustful/cool

Eis = ice

Not good. Just googled and it's Irish and means 'white swan'. Pronounced 'Gai - leesh' I like it!

Gai-leesh sounds lovely actually. Just make sure she never spends much time in a German speaking country .

Geillis - (think you pronounce it Geilly, like Reilly) is lovely
