Mélisande

I pronounce Melusine "MEL-uh-seen".

Hard one...Melusine I think?

---

Probably just for the mythology behind it though!

---

I pronounce it MEL-oo-zeen.

Mélisande...

...Melusine is pretty but the whole giant snake lady thing is a tad off-putting. I'd pronounce it meh-lu-SEEN, more or less.

Much prefer Melisande. Melusine should be with a stress on the last syllable and a ü sound.

I would forego the é because I think things like that cause complications, and Melisande looks just as good to me. Melisende is also a lovely version.

I would pronounce Melusine MEH-loo-seen

Mélisande!

In English I'd say MEL-oo-zeen but I kinda prefer the French pronunciation where the last syllable is stressed and the u sound is different.

Mélisande

Mélisande. I pronounce Melusine as mel-yoo-SEEN, but I have no idea if that is right or not.

Both are beautiful, but today, it's Melusine for me. I pronounce it MEL-oo-zeen. I don't care for MEL-yoo-zeen.

I pronounce Melusine as MEL-oo-seen.

Mélisande

Mélisande

And I pronounce it Melusine as MEL-oo-seen.

Mélisande

It's just more elegant to me, but I honestly love both.

I say MEL-yoo-zeen, but I'm not a very big fan of the name. Melusine feels thick and syrupy to me, like cough medicine. I love Melisande, though. I think it's an elegant and romantic name with a somewhat dark edge.
