Help[Opinions] Re: Q about Pronounciation and your opinion
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I'd pronounce it A-SUH-leen. However I must say I'm a bit skeptical about this name being French and meaning "noble". I've lived in French-speaking areas for various years, have gone through one or two French name books and it doesn't sound remotely familiar. I also don't see etymologically how it could mean "noble".

I don't want to pick on you, maybe you're right on this (there's a French name website http://www.prenoms.com/ but I can't manage to access it for some reason). But baby name sites are notoriously unreliable and designed to pleased, and since they're based on previous baby name books that can explain the similarity.

I just found it on 123-baby-names.com then checked it against Babynames.com and they both said the same thing
