Recently, I've been crushing on Iolanthe and I just wanted some opinions from you guys about what you think of it :) How would you pronounce it? What nicknames can you think of for Iolanthe? And, your honest opinion on what Iolanthe sounds like to you? :D Thanks! x

At first glance I want to say eye-oh-lanth-ee but that just doesn't seem right. Unique name, but difficult to pronounce!

I'd probably pronounce it eye-oh-lanthe, 3 syllables, upon first glance. It looks a little too odd for me, personally. I would guess Isla as a possible nick name?

See I pronounce it as eye-oh-lan-thee and was thinking of Thea as a nickname :) Thanks for your feedback!
