So one really quite unusual name and one more popular name - I think anything goes, really! But would probably pick something fairly short to “fit”. How about:

Astrid
Felicity
Heidi
Lara
Martha
Nina
Phoebe
Polly
Rachel

My first thought was Maeve.

Also love a PP suggestion of Mathilde. Such a gorgeous name!

@ScarMatty, I'd say it Iz-ol-duh

@ScarMatty

How do you pronounce Isolde?
I'd say Eye sold, but that leaves it very open to mispronunciation with my accent Blush I must admit it's not a name I've ever come across before.
Zeebeezee · 13/10/2020 14:37

Where I am from (Ireland) Isolde is pronounced Izzawldeh, emphasis on the "awl" bit.
There is a variation called Iseult, and that is pronounced Izzult.

It is a lovely name IMO. Fun fact, there is a little village in Dublin called Chapelizod, and it means the chapel of Isolde. It comes from the legend of Tristan and Isolde. There are Cornish connections to the legend also.

I have no suggestions for names, sorry!

What Mike says re pronunciation. But an Irish accent would make it sound as Zee has it.
