I grew up in San Diego and knew a lot of hispanic kids with this name. I think it's pretty, but to me it's definitely an "ethnic" name, sort of on par with Yolanda? I've always heard as is "lizETTE."

[/b]Latina here. Very different. Yolanda is a classic, Lisette is a French name associated with uneducated people trying to sound fancy(at least within my subgroup).

OP, I think it’s tacky, but I’m obviously biased.[b]

You're also obviously someone who engages in lazy thinking and likes to advance nasty stereotypes. I'm a Latina with a cousin named Lisette, who has a PhD. Our parents' generation includes physicians, teachers, and librarians. Other cousins in our generation include physicians, lawyers, architects and MBAs, so I'd say we're pretty well-educated as a group. As far as "trying to sound fancy", that's pretty subjective, but I'll say we're not people who judge others as "tacky" just because they like different names than we do.

Your cousin’s PhD is irrelevant here, the “nasty stereotype” exists. The OP asked for opinions and opinions were given. It’s not personal, and it’s ridiculous to throw a tantrum over this.
