Middle name for Giselle?

[Elysant]

Giselle is IMHO one of rare names everybody knows of and rarely anybody use it. I'm not biggest fan of ballet, but I don't mind associations, but would love to avoid name sounding like we're biggest ballet fans. I'm also fine with German, French and English pronunciation, but will pick one closer to French, zhiz-EL. We don't have problem with meaning, it could also mean pledge. Problem is we love lot of show stopper names and name combo looks heavy and attention seeking.

We were thinking something along lines of
Cordelia Giselle
Giselle Amoret
Giselle Rosamund
Giselle Lorena
Beatrice Giselle
Giselle Romilly

We both love Beatrice and Cordelia, but I would rather pick Giselle and call her Giselle.

Giselle Louise/Louisa/Louisette

I know Louise is THE middle name for every woman born in the late 70s but I think it’s beautiful and fits with the Giselle vibe

Giselle Marianne sounds beautiful to me.

I know a Giselle Louise but she was born 70s, she’s the only Giselle I know. She has used different versions of her name. French is the correct pronunciation but she gave up in high school correcting people, small town northerners wernt good at accepting “foreign” names in the 80s.

personally I like Giselle Rosamund and Giselle Cordelia

Giselle May

Bear in mind that although Giselle is a pretty name, it doesn't work all that well in the UK. It will be pronounced Jizz-elle

There is a well-known journalist who was called Gisèle before she changed her name. Not naming her, but I heard her being interviewed and she said she changed it because of how people said it IIRC

If they don't go for Jizz-elle, they'll probably go with Gazelle. It's a pretty name, but high odds of being mangled.

Incase she does not like Giselle, I would go for a more common middle name.

My DD has a good friend Giselle Elisabeth.

I like:

Giselle Kate
Giselle Clare
Giselle Rosa
Giselle Laura
Giselle Olive

Giselle Adrienne
Giselle Antonia
Giselle Olivia
Giselle Francesca
Giselle Aurora
Giselle Alexandra
Giselle Evangeline
Giselle Emilia
Giselle Anoushka
Giselle Marguerite

I have a Gisele Julia. But she often gets gazelle from teachers of all people! All her friends can pronounce her name.

As in Maxwell?
No way

I love Giselle Romilly. Other suggestions

Giselle elodie
giselle eloise
giselle aurelia
giselle ottilie
giselle matilda
giselle amelia
giselle caroline
giselle harriet
giselle rosalie
Giselle ivy
giselle madeline

Maxwell was Gislaine.

Actually, she was Ghislaine, but pronunced it Gillen

Giselle Ophelia

Cordelia Giselle

If you're in the UK people will call your daughter Jizz-elle so I'd just use it for a middle name.

I second Giselle Marianne - that’s a fabulous sounding name. Classy and very French.

Yes I’d second this, usually I think people exaggerate nasty nickname potential, but Jizz is an absolute gift to bullies, and a horror for any girl

cordelia Giselle is very nice

Thanks ladies, we like Giselle Adrienne, Giselle Anoushka and I like Giselle Madeline.

Giselle Rosamund
Giselle Ottilie
Gizelle Carmen

I like Giselle Lorena and Giselle Romilly but it's up to you
