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."
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.

It's not my favorite but if you love it, go for it. It is nice to hear a hear a different "L" name. I had a friend a few years ago who was looking for a girl's name that started with L, and I feel like it was hard for them to find a name that sounded fresh -- Laura, Lilah, Lily/Lillian/Lillia. All very pretty but not particularly exciting. They wound up going with Layla which is I like a lot but I bet they didn't consider Lisette. I'm curious what they would have thought of it.

I’ve only know it pronounced with the S sound, not Z.

I don’t think people are going to pronounce it correctly with that spelling.

Love it when pronounced Liz-ette. (“Liz” like the nickname for Elizabeth.) everyone I’ve known with this name pronounced it that way but maybe not if you are French or European?

Pretty. Is it French? Maybe trying a little too hard but I like it.
