There was no 'Like it' option. I don't hate it but I don't love it.

It's a nice name, definitely makes me think 'celebrities'...Gilmore Girls meets supermodel.

How will you pronounce Giselle?

well, I know the english pronunciation is ji-ZEL. But is that a long I or short I sound? When I see Giselle, I think ja-zel. Perhaps, I'm pronouncing it incorrectly, though. What do you think?

It's a short I, so Giselle rhymes with "his bell." Lorelei Giselle is not my style, but it is a very pretty name, and it goes well with Thomas. I think it's a very nice choice. :-)

I think it is alright. Reminds me of Gilmore Girls.

I don't know the origin of the name, but it is a very common name in Brazil and there it's pronounced jiz-EL-ee...like the way you said with an extra "EE" syllable at the end. In fact, the supermodel's name is supposed to be pronounced this way too but we Americans butchered it (I saw it in an E! interview). I still prefer your way, though.
