[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two--one hispanic, one caucasian.  Both pronounced "lih-SET".  I think it's pretty!  I'm not a fan of it with a "z" sound though.[/quote]

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, [b]sort of on par with Yolanda?[/b] I've always heard as is "lizETTE."[/quote]

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

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

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.       [/quote]
