Hi

We finally confirmed Giselle for our daughter after 3 months, but would like to make sure we pronounce it correctly. Anyone can help us? " G-sell", " ger-sell" or "je-sell" ?

Thanks

Hi! I lived in France for almost a year. Giselle is pronounced: G-zell. The "G" is a soft G sound (zhee). I hope that helps.
