It's beautiful.
There's an Iseult in DD1's class

I like it, but prefer Isolde.

OliveMalay · 20/02/2011 13:14

It's OK, but Isolde is very nice IMO :)

Galdem · 20/02/2011 13:16

It's quite nice. Had never considered it before. Better than Isolde, I think.

I don't like it. I just don't like the way it sounds. Perhaps I am reading it wrong but to me it's abrupt.

How is it pronounced? Like assault but with an i? If so then I don't like it, but maybe I'm missing something in the pronunciation.

Galdem · 20/02/2011 13:36

the 's' is pronounced like a 'z' and the intonation is different, so it is more Iz-ult rather than ass-ult Grin

crazycatlady · 20/02/2011 13:45

Ah ok, got it. I'm not sold on it, mainly as I suspect there are a lot of dunces out there like me who can't work out how to say it.

Hi,

I'm not too keen, plus for the rest of her life she would be going' err it's spelt 'I-S-E-U-L-T' I had a really strange sirname so I know how annoying it can be, the countless times I wishes I was a Smith! :)

SnapFrakkleAndPop · 20/02/2011 13:56

I like but prefer Isolde.
