what do you think of the name giselle?

[robinredbreast]

can i have your views please?

I am not a big fan, but what does it matter if YOU like it?

like it

It makes me think of antelope

well im not sure

not too keen tbh sorry. Prefer it to Delilah though.

Does it flow nicely with your surname?

okish flow

Makes me think of leggy antelope too...not sure why leggy? Is there a supermodel called Giselle?!

love it
was at school with one - shortened to Elle, which is still pretty

OK if you have french connections but bit pretentious if not tbh. Sorry!

You're thinking of La Buenchen from Brasil.

Actually she's not my idea of a Giselle really, picture something more frail and ethereal.

We're all sort of conjuring up gazelle somehow

antelope for me too

if she grows up tall and ethereal then lovely. If she has more of a size 14-16 frame, not so good.

It's growing on me, as I keep running it off my tongue. Could it be nice.

It dies remind me of a gazelle, which is no problem because they are very pretty and graceful animals - it also reminds me of the ballet, which is beautiful and makes me cry

I would probably assume there was a French connection in the family if I met a Giselle, but I wouldn't think anything more of it if there wasn't.

It's just a very nice pretty word, really.

well we do have italian conections but not french [who says you have to be french though to use this name,anyway it german]

I quite like it

It's Gisèle not Giselle in French.

connections i mean lol

Oh lovely, we have a neighbour called Giselle and I think it is so pretty

Thought it was Gisela in German? Anybody? Giselle is the anglicised version IMO.

well there are two different ways to spell it anna.

bittirednow - mmm i suppose it would suit a tall slim person more,as you do tend to think of gazelle, could but trick for a bigger girl/woman that is a fair point
