I would instinctively pronounce Thisbe TIZ-bee, and that's how it seems to be being said in the soundbite here:
http://www.answers.com/topic/thisbe
However, the pronunciation guide on the same page seems to say THIZ-bee.
I would automatically say it TIZ-bee out loud, but would hear THIZ-bee in my head, so it's a confusing one for me!
FWIW, I hear 'frisbee' as much as 'thistle' lol.
