Wdyt of the name Eseld?

Wdyt of the name [name_f]Eseld[/name_f]? I love it, but I’m not to sure if other people will think it’s too strange.

I love it! Definitely one of my favourite forms of [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], she has a magical sparkle to her.

Since it’s easy to pronounce and reminiscent of [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], I think people will get used to it quickly. I have met people with more unusual names who don’t have any trouble, so I definitely wouldn’t worry about it.

[name_f]Eseld[/name_f] is magical! Intuitive, beautiful, and unique. There’s a fairytale quality about it that I love. Very whimsical and ethereal.

It’s going to be unfamiliar to pretty much everyone BUT it’s a beautiful name!!

Totally agree, [name_f]Eseld[/name_f] is gorgeous! It’s both delicate and strong and striking. Packs a lot of punch for such a simple name!

The only downside for me is its unfamiliarity: pronunciation may turn out to be a slight issue.

To be honest, Iam not sure how to pronounce it.

[name_f]Eseld[/name_f] is lovely! A very easy to say and spell variation of [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (more usable than [name_f]Yseult[/name_f] for example) and has that popular E inital!

I love [name_f]Eseld[/name_f]. She is just gorgeous - such an old-world, whimsical and romantic feel to her (just as, I think, many Cornish names have).

I think that while it would indeed be unfamiliar to most, the pronunciation and spelling is relatively straightforward, so I don’t think it would be too difficult for people to pick up.

It’s divine, really, so if you love it, please, use it! :heart:

I’ve never seen this name before or heard it, but I think it’s gorgeous! It feels very vintage to me, like a hidden gem.

I agree with pp, it’s very uncommon, so pronunciation and spelling may be problematic for majority of people… but once you know it, it’s hard to forget.

I think it’s lovely. It will probably be unfamiliar to many/most people (depending on where you live). It does lend itself to some more familiar nicknames ([name_f]Essie[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]…), though, if the unfamiliarity becomes burdensome.
