Re: OT: pronunciation question

I would pronounce [gil&~] but this name is written and pronounced in various
ways in both the masculine and feminine ( [zhisl&~], [zhislEn], etc.)

I've recently encountered in written form a new name, apparently
popular among male French Canadians, which I have never heard
pronounced.  It is spelled "Ghyslain", and from what little I know
of French orthography I would guess it is pronounced as CXS
[giz'l&~], but if someone who actually knows could confirm or correct
that, I'd appreciate it.
