Now one quick question.
How do you pronounce Ghislaine?

Rhymes with sounds like?
(I have not kept up with the latest in diacritical markings.)

Giz LAYNE

the “G” is hard, not soft.

I always get it wrong, though cuz I speak French, too (keep it quiet, though), and in France that name is common and it gets a soft G.

The proper English pronunciation always sounds super weird to me.
