A person on my flist posted about friends of hers and their daughter. As soon the as I read it, I thought I'd get your opinion on the daughter's name.

Parents: Cathy and Mike
Daughter: Gissela

It just sounds kind of weird to me, I don't really like it, although it looks pretty.

Reminds me of gristle... that nasty chewy, not supposed to be eaten part of chicken.

The double 'g' and single 'l' is what makes it look funny to me. Gisella would be better, I think.

It carries through several European languages--I was first familiar with it in French.

It's ok... It's sort of like Giselle, which isn't my style, but whatever.
It kind of reminds me of Grisabella- the cat that sings Memory in the (formerly) broadway show, Cats.

Not really my style, kind of pretty I suppose, but it reminds me of Gazelle.

I'd like Gisela much better.

Yuck. It sounds slippery to me, for whatever reason. I don't like it at all.
