Help[Opinions] Re: Isa (ETA)
in reply to a message by HoneyBee
"EYE-zuh" is a fantastic sounding name. But Isa, particularly with all the little Isabellas running around, will never get you that pronunciation in the real world.
"EYE-zuh" reminds me of the name Feivel and a guy I know named Eivel ("EYE-vel"). Eivel, as far as a quickie internet search goes, seems to be a surname. So maybe that's not in the cards. Hmmm.
Ivo can be pronounced, "EYE-vo," and has always fascinated me. It's so deliciously medieval. I first heard it on a minor character in BBC's "Berkley Square," set in Edwardian London. The uppercrust family was obviously still in the throws of Victorian preferences for Gothic, medieval sounding names. It's probably more correctly pronounced, "EE-vo," but "EYE-vo" can also work.
Then there's always Asa ("AY-suh") which is a different sound and vibe than "EYE-zuh," but much easier to pull off for you and your child.
Wait, maybe I can find "EYE-zuh" in an African database. Stand by.
ETA: No luck. I found Izem and Mosi ("MO-zee"), but nothing that I could get "EYE-zuh" as a nn from. Bummer.
