How do you pronounce Isolde?
Is it like "Is-old"
Or "Is-old-uh"
??

It looks like such a pretty name!

I pronounce it EE-sold.

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

Ditto. And I love the way it looks and sounds. :)

I say is Ih-zold, which is probably wrong...

I've heard it pronounced EE-sold, like the above poster said.

if you're going by the movie "Tristan & Isolde"- i'm fairly certain they say it like ee-zold. it's a little more of a Z sound than an S.

[turn-it-upp.livejournal.com]

agreed.
(i saw the movie too:D)

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

I say ee-SOLD. I love the way it looks, too!

I love this name, it's beautiful and feminine.

I've heard it pronounced Is-Old.

But a friend named her daughter this and she pronounces it Eez-old.

In Germany it would be pronounced Ee-zol-duh :)

It depends on your location, so it can either be pronounced "EE-z/sold" or "EE-zol-deh"

In italian it's Eez-AWL-deh, in german more like Eess-ol-tah.

I've heard it pronounced Ee-sold-a, Is-old-ah, or Ees-soldt. Usually the Ee-soldt pronunciation goes with the version of the name spelled Iseult

My son's name is Tristan, so I've joked he needs to meet a little girl named Isolde so that he can marry her one day:P

That's adorable.

I plan on using it as a middle name one day. I pronounce it ee-SOLD, some pronounce it ee-SOLD-uh.

[celtic-thistle.livejournal.com]

I say Iz-old. And it's one of my favorite names ever.
