Ah, your description of the French pronunciation is better than mine. That's the one I meant, though.
I agree with you: I can definitely see the name being interpreted as "golden haired".
But I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to (most) baby name websites; so many of them give misleading or downright wrong information. That's why I asked.
Um, I'm rambling, sorry. I basically just meant to say that I agree with you on both pronunciation and interpretation.
