[Opinions] Re: Iselin
No, Izzy wouldn't make sense with that pronounciation!
The Norwegian pronounciation is IS-eh-leen or EE-seh-leen, but I was thinking people would be inclined to pronounce it like the start of Isabella.
I hadn't even considered Ice- as a possibility, so thanks for that!
I dislike that more than I do Izzy!!

Yeah, my brain has a tendency to find things that others don't. But after looking at some of the other posts, I'm not the only one to think ice.

You're right, 3 out of 6 people have said ice- so it's definitely something to take into consideration.
It hadent even occurred to me, so it's good to know.

It depends on how many people are familiar with Norwegian. I'm not, and I don't think a lot of Australians would be, either. I just helped a new student from Honduras enroll yesterday. and her middle name is Ceranyuly. The first y sounds like a j, so it's ser-an-JYU-lee. I said ser-an-yu-lee.
