Ghislaine (is it spelled any other way? This spelling looks strange to me)
Corinne

as girls names? Not necessarily together as sisters.

I like Corinne a lot. It's has a pretty sound, an elegant image, and lives in that nice area of unusual-but-not-odd. Ghislaine, however, is deep into Odd territory. I've never even heard of it. It's going to be impossible to spell and pronounce, and I can't come with any pronunciation that makes it sound pretty to me. So thumb's-up to Corinne, thumb's-down to Ghislaine.

It's G-eez-LEN (hard G as in guitar)

I worked with someone of middle eastern ethnicity who was named Ghislaine. She pronounced it Giz-lan, rhymes with "biz" and rhymes with "bon".
