Is this 'S' in this pronounced like the letter "S", e.g. "ess"? It's not clear to me from this explanation how her name is pronounced.

- davidivadavid 6y agoThe S in Ghislaine (in French) is silent (ghee-laine), even though people these days use a pronunciation that is closer to the spelling (jiss-laine).
- jobigoud 6y agoI'm in France and I only ever heard it pronounced "jisslaine". Although we had a friend called that and we used to nickname her "jilou".
