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.


+1. Definitely sounds like someone trying to be fancy.

I would pronounce it with an "s" sound.

Liss-ette

I think Lisette is a very pretty name.

My DH, who is French, says he thinks it’s desuet (old fashioned) and paysan (rural, I guess not necessarily a bad thing). Random sample size of one. Plus, if you’re not actually going to be living in France, who cares?

I really like the idea of naming your little girl Elisabeth, and using Lisette as a very lovely nickname.

Doesn’t it mean “little Lisa”?

Could you name her Lisa or Elisabeth and then use Lisette as a sweet nickname?

It's not hard to pronounce and it's charming. Go for it! Especially if your last name is French.

You and your child will forever be explaining how to pronounce it.

My mother had a wonderful friend named Lisette, pronounced the same way you indicate, who was from Switzerland. Very sweet lady. I have never met another Lisette.

I knew a Lisette in middle school (in the early ‘00’s) who pronounced it Liz-Ett, with perhaps a softer z/s sound. I think it’s a pretty and charming name.

PP again. I stand corrected! I was thinking of Lisanne, not Lisette.

I don’t really like it OP, but it’s also not a “bad” name or something. Use it if you love it.

OP, I don’t think most people are going to pronounce it how you are expecting
