Just take the h out. Gislaine would be really close in English.

Almost there, but if you didn't know how the name was supposed to be pronounced,you (one, that's to say, not you, Shannon!)might be inclined to say it with a hard "G", like George.
Leave out the y, and Ghislaine still might be said with a hard G, so I think, just teach people how to say it.
Ghislaine is a beautiful name. I know a few people so named. One of them, though, married an English speaker, and he always called her Jessie.
This woman is one of three sisters, one of the others is named Valderas, seemed they had a liking for non-popular names.
The third one, I don't know her real name, she has one of those family nick-names that come nowhere near the actual name.

It's quite true, no matter how you spell it the vast majority of people are going to ask how it's pronounced anyway. But at least without the h in there phonetically in English it should be said with a soft G and not hard. But there are a whole lot of people who wouldn't think/know that, I guess.
