Ghislaine??

[goatshavestrangeeyes]

any thoughts on this for a girl?

It will always remind me of Robert Maxwell's yacht, Lady Ghislaine, though others may not retain that so vividly.

I'm afraid I don't think it looks very pretty written down. In fact don't like the sound of the first syllable either.
Seems to me like the sort of name that could be tricky to carry off.

Um.

Is it pronounced "Giz" as in Gizzard?

Or is it "Jizz" as in, er, jizz?

Not a flier. IMO.

It's a no from me too I'm afraid.

Really don't like it. Sorry.

and its a no from me

I'm not convinced. Is it a Gizz sound at the beginning or Jizz? Either way it's a harsh sounding name. Sorry.

Good lord, no.

Gorgeous.

It's pronounced Gillan or at least the one I know pronounces it like that.

Isn't it pronounced SHizz Lane. Like fo shizzle?

Anyway, I knew a woman called SHIZZLane or however you say it and she was AWFUL. One of the worst people I have ever ever met and I hate her.

She is my NEMESIS.

So, all in all, No.

Not sure Jizz is a nickname she will thank you for, to be honest!

Saw thread title and thought of jizz. Don't do it.

There's no "jizz" in it! It's pronounced "GHI-LAINE"

In that case I think Gillian or Elaine could be alternatives...

Is is a girl's name? I thought it was a boy's name. It's pretty fugly, either way.

Beautiful name OP. pronounced Jhee-laine. Like in the film Gigi.

I worked with someone called Ghislaine, I thought it was a lovely name. It was pronounced Gee-laine

Don't like it. Sorry

Lovely.

Seems like a lot of letters for two syllables.

Think you'd spend your time telling people how to spell or pronounce it.

It's a no from me I'm afraid.

I used to know a girl called ghislaine but she used to get called shitstain

Not by me i hasten to add
Sorry

I rather like it. You don't pronounce the s anyway.

I know only one person called this, they live in France though.
