what do you think?

My cousin named his new baby girl Ysobel Iris. How do you even pronounce that?? Is it just like Isobel?? Another friend of mine named her baby Cielo. I feel disappointed with these name choices :/

WDYT?

Just like Isobel. I think that's lovely... a bit difficult for cultures/people not familiar with it, but lovely none the less.

I like that spelling. Very pretty. I think I like Cielo, as well. It's different, but it's nice.

I like both.

Ysobel is okay, though I don't care for the spelling. I don't like Iris or Cielo (I'm pretty sure I've heard this on a cat).

Is Cielo a boy or girl? I kind of like it for a boy.

And Ysobel Iris is lovely.

The car that my parents purchased for me so I could learn to drive a manual was a Daewoo Cielo. It was a piece of crap.

cielo is a girl. her full name is cielo alexis rae (two middle names)

I think Cielo is sky in Spanish.

or heaven. i've also heard that it means anything above you... not 100% sure on that one.

Ysobel Iris is beautiful. Ysobel is just kind of combining the Scottish form Isobel and the medieval French form Ysabel. But I don't mind it. Cielo isn't bad, but not my style.

In Italian, too. I wonder how they pronounce it (Italian way, Spanish way or something...weirder).

I like Iris.

Ysobel Iris isn't bad at all--the whole Isabella/Isobel thing is a bit overdone, but Ysobel is a legit spelling of the name, as far as I'm concerned. In countries that use this, is the pronunciation the same, or is it something different like EE-soh-bell, for example?

I've heard of Cielo, too. Not my style, but not too bad.
