[Opinions] Question on pronounciation
Of Isolde, Isolda, Iseult, Ysolda, Yseult, Esyllt, Eseld, and any other variants (besides Isotta and stuff obviously)
Are they pronounced the same? I've been saying eess-ULD for Isolde, but with a weird thing on the ULD where my tongue sort of flicks off the roof of my mouth. No idea what that's called. I say eess-ULT for Iseult and ess-ELD for Eseld. Are these accurate?

If you click on Isolde and Iseult, the pronunciations in English and German are listed. Yseult is the same as Iseult, Eseld is ES-eld, and Esyllt is... hard to type. So here: http://www.forvo.com/word/esyllt/#cy :)

Thanks for the link. Now I know I really dislike the name.
