ih-ZOL-duhSort of German mixed with English. I've only ever heard it pronounced like that (or ee-ZOL-duh), though ih-ZOL-de is not that bad.I love the name but prefer the medieval spelling Isolda.

I pronounce it i-ZOL-deh. Isolde Rose -- this is lovely.
Isolde Susan -- don't really care for this
Isolde Laurel -- nice, but I prefer Laurel Isolde as I think it flows better this way.

Not sure whether this is the "beautifulest" or not...but I prn it as ih-ZOL-deh.I like the echoed vowel sounds in Isolde Rose.
Isolde Susan just doesn't do it for me.
Isolde Laurel is nice enough, but I prefer Isolde Lorelei.

I pronounce it IZ-ol-dee and dislike all the other pronunciations.Isolde Laurel is my favourite of your combos, though I love Susan far more than Laurel. I think Susan Isolde would be a striking combo.Array

Well,I always thought "IS-old", like just saying "she is old". That's the only turn off I've had to it, otherwise I like it a lot. But on the "Tristan + Isolde" movie trailer, they say it like "EEZ-old". Either way, they're rather similar. Of your combos, I like Isolde Rose and Isolde Laurel the best, though both are NMS. What about:Isolde Elspet
Isolde Beatrice
Isolde Beatrix
Isolde Wren
Isolde Caitriona
Isolde Rain
Isolde Rhiannon
Isolde Cait
Isolde Lily
Isolde Grace
Isolde Kathleen
Isolde Victoria
Isolde Morgaine
Isolde Maeve
Isolde Emilie
