Gisele is from the ballet. I remember when she was born, her name wasn't well-liked. My in-laws can be very judgy.
Gisele was a rainbow baby, both Isaac and Martin passed as infants. The younger girls had gotten into ballet and as a family they chose Gisele.
Also: Excellent explanation. I had no idea how "Catholic " names like Martin, Paul, Anthony, Monica, Cecilia, Damian, and Dominic were before I became Catholic. It's also how the sibset is. Ron, Martin and Gary? Probably not Catholic. Joseph, Martin, and Anthony? Definitely Catholic.
My husband's family is also very Catholic:
Alexander
Elizabeth
Damian
Mary
Katherine
Christopher
Anthony
Classic names, used plenty by non-Catholics. Used together? Catholic
