I was a bit late, but wanted to tell you that most names derived from the Mayans pronounce the letter "x" the way we say "sh" in English. So in this case, it would sound like Ishel or like Sonrise provided above.
Welcome to the forum, by the way!!!

The same sound is used in places in Mexico like Xcaret, where we just stayed. Many pronounce these words wrong. :) - Nicole-B, Sep 5, 2011
