Could you please describe [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] to me?
I find it very romantic, unusual, but recognizable, soft, yet strong, princessy and short, frilly, cheerful name
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you agree with me on [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] description?
Would you use it?
What five attribute would you assign to [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], and what would you choose for middle? Would you choose [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] for middle name or first?
I adore [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]. 
To me she’s sweet, feminine, lively and dainty. I imagine her to be beautiful, strong and soft-spoken. [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] is one of my top GP names, but that’s for a personal reason. I prefer [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] as a first name.
Thank you [name_f]Luneth[/name_f] I appreciate your response…
I totally agree with your description, that’s what I feel about the name too.
Pretty, strong, romantic, intellectual, gentle and kind
I prefer it as a first name because I like it so much, but it would be pretty as a middle name too
I always think of [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] as a ballerina name. A little frilly and romantic, but I like it because it seems to stay mostly under the radar despite being such a pretty name, i.e., didn’t get lumped in with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], and the like, which makes it feel a little eccentric.
I think I’d put it with anything as long as the middle wasn’t also super sweet. Something like [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just seems too romantic to me.
I like [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], it has definitely grown on me. I agree with your description. I picture someone:
confident
outgoing/outspoken
lively
zealous
athletic
girly
I would rather see it as a first name than a middle name! Maybe something like:
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Oriana[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Klara[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Frida[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] Freyja
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
It goes well with quite a lot of names, really.
Thank you all, gals. I think I will add [name_f]Kallista[/name_f] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] to my list or even [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] to my list.
I totally agree with your description of [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]. She definitely feels like a bit of everything. (Princessy, Mystical, Romantic, etc.) I adore this name. It’s most likely a name I will probably use for a future kitty though. I don’t like it on a human especially in this generation. If this was 40 years ago it would be without a doubt my favorite baby name. I would probably pair it with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. I love how royal they sound together, [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].
When I think of [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], I think of a flighty, long-legged model or perhaps a princess, but I think that’s because of the movie Enchanted and also the famous VS model.
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f]'s attributes are
Agree with your description aside from the fact that I don’t think of it as a ‘short’ name besides the fact that’s it’s only two syllables, because it does have that nice nearly-frilly (but not definitively frilly) -elle ending. And, like a previous poster mentioned, a heavy ballet association for me, which in my opinion is a lovely one!
One of my all time favourite names, so naturally I had to give it to one of my daughters.
Here are my notes I gathered on the name [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] from various name books and online sources when I was pregnant:
The two [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]’s I knew were very stylish, gorgeous, independent, strong women so I associate that with the name. I’ve just always loved it.
