Isolde/Iseult....do I nip DH's idea in the bud right now?

[bowbluebell]

We are ttc number 2. I am convinced we'll have another girl. In discussing names DH suggested Isolde or Iseult (the old English version).

At first I thought 'bah, silliness' and now it's starting to grow on me....

What do you think? At least she'll be the only one in the class (indeed, the village!)

ps- he's a great fan of Wagner and says I should be grateful he didn't suggest Frighilda!

Only just registered with mumsnet so this is a bit late.

My DD2 is called Isolde.
We both loved the name and would have used it for DD1 but it was the time the film came out and we worried it may be too popular.
As it is, no one had heard of it.
We pronounce it Iss Old without the e pronounced.
She gets called Iz owld most of the time by my MIL as she can't get her mouth around it!!
DD1 Niamh corrects everyone.

What about Isodole?

Isolde is lovely. Iseult? Nah!

Isolde is lovely.
