Help[Opinions] Re: Q about Pronounciation and your opinion
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I think more like Ay-suh-lyn, but I like yours too.
The name is very pretty. And the meaning is nice too.

like vaseline
Yeah, in French it would be pronounced like Vaseline without the 'v' - "Ass-uh-leen"/"Ass-leen" (the middle syllable would be kind of skimmed over). Maybe best left alone for obvious reasons!
If I didn't speak French, I don't know what I'd make of it if I saw it written down - a-sell-een? a-sell-ine? ass-e-leen? etc. etc. And none of them would seem quite right, if you know what I mean. I don't think it works that well in English, basically.
Do you like Josceline, or Aline? They're French-sounding names that seem kind of similar.

P.S. If it means 'noble', I'm guessing it might be related to the "Alice" family of names, which includes Alice, Adeline (Add-uh-leen) and Alix (sounds like Alex) in French. I haven't heard of Aceline so it must be a rare one!
