"Aysche" is a Turkisch name, but written in German (originally it would be "Ayse", but the "s" would be pronounced as a "sch"). I don't know the meaning of the name, would be interesting to find out. Since Aysche was a Persian, I found the name quite fitting, I was looking for something oriental.

You would pronounce it like "Ishe", the "i" would sound like "I" or the one in "Hi". The "e" is a short "e" like in "the". Hope this makes any sense..

Edited because I just did some research and found out "Ayse" (or "Aysche" means "the Living". Almost ironic, isn't it?

Oh, gosh! The meaning IS ironic, and so sad. Thank you for letting me know how to pronounce Aysche . . . it is beautiful and unique, as was your kitty.

I will add it to my list of favorite names . . . ever since I was a young girl I have been fascinated with names, and always kept an evolving list to someday bestow upon my pets.
