HelpRe: Ghyslaine
in reply to a message by Ghyslaine
I'm not too sure that I know what you mean.
Ghislaine, pronounced with a G as in Gary, not a G as in George, is the French spelling I'm used to. The Ghys- seems rather overdecorated.
If you're trying to make it easier for English people to pronounce, either leave it in its French form and tell them what it should sound like, or go for something like Jocelyn or Jessamine that people will recognise, or for something like Jesslain that is clearly made up but not difficult to cope with.
