I wonder how Iolanthe and Isolde are pronounced. Iolanthe is a form of Violet and Yolanda.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Isolde, I think, is pronounced ih-ZOLD. It sounds too much like "is old" for me to like. :/ I have no idea how Iolanthe is pronounced, though. My guess would be yo-LAN-thay, though.

Isolde can be prn a bunch of diff ways.
Ee-Sold
