[Opinions] Re: Ghislaine
in reply to a message by Pie
Paris intel. Now we're getting down to cases.Forgive my confusion, but when you use "gee" in your pronunciation guide, is that a "g" a "j" sound? Most helpful. Thank you.

It's like the g in gift. Sorry! - it's really hard to explain these things. I should use IPA but I'm too lazy to look it up :)But it seems there are two different pronunciations of Ghislaine. Apparently over the years the s has become silent in some versions of the name, but not all, so looks like a zhiz-len pronunciation is legit too. My cousin and I's mutual great-great-grandfather was a Guislain. Now I'm wondering if he pronounced the s!
