I love the look of this name, but I am unsure about the pronounciation. What do you think?

MELL-ih-sənd in English.
mey-lee-SAWND if I'm trying to make the French pronunciation.

may-lee-SAHWND :)

or just mell-ih-SAHWND in English I suppose would be inevitable, but still pretty.

I pronounce Mélisande me-lee-SAHND. The first 'é' should be a "close" vowel.

I say it Mel-is-sand, I'm sure that's wrong though :)
