Help[Opinions] Re: Isolde
in reply to a message by Caroline
I think Isolde is a real grower.
My first reaction is always "Yuck." I instinctively dislike the sound because it's so unfamiliar. No other names (or words I can think of) have that strange "oll-duh" sound.
But now that I've said it a few times in my head, I'm getting used to it. I'd spell it Isolda,, which is so much easier to pronounce.
I also think Iseult (when ih-ZOOLT) would sound great as a middle name, since it's stressed on the second syllable. And I love the look of Eseld, though I don't know how to say it.
