I don’t know why people like the German version - the original Celtic version - Iseult or Yseult is much nicer.

Three syllables, definitely.

Is-old. It was originally spelled Iseult so there isn’t an eh or uh sound at the end to my mind.

reetgood · 17/05/2018 16:41

Is-old-uh . Love the name, was our top choice for a girl. Both ways of saying it are acceptable, so you/ child may find yourself always confirming the one you’ve chosen.
