In Arthurian legend she was an Irish princess betrothed to King Mark of Cornwall. She became the lover of his knight Tristan, which led to their tragic deaths. The story was popular during the Middle Ages and the name became relatively common in England at that time. It was rare by the 19th century, though some interest was generated by Richard Wagner's opera 'Tristan and Isolde' (1865).)

I have put Tristan so I thought I should put the love interest to Tristan in the story which is Isolde. It is a beautiful name with a pretty meaning and I have used this as the name of one of my secondary characters daughters.
