[Opinions] Ysandre?
A character name from Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel trilogy that I just can't get out of my head. I really like it. There is an Isandro in the database, so it isn't a huge stretch of the imagination.What do you think of Ysandre?
How would you pronounce it? (I think maybe Iss-ondra?)
What types of middle names would you pair it with?

I pronounced it iss-AHND-ray just looking at it. Is it supposed to be feminine or masculine?-Bethany

Feminine.Well, the character was a woman. I don't know about French name endings...if that would be a more masculine ending or not.

What do you think of Ysandre?
- It think it sounds very fantasy-eque and a bit sexy, which is appropriate givent he books its from.
How would you pronounce it? (I think maybe Iss-ondra?)
- I always think is-san-DRAY, but I don't speak french. A French speaker would be most qualified to makes head or tails of these names.
What types of middle names would you pair it with?
