Expecting dc4.

If it's a boy, it will be a Thomas possibly nn Tom.

How are people's views on Lisa? Is it too 80s? I have always love the name as I think it's simple, unpretentious and feminine suiting a girl and a grown woman.

Lisa, yay or nay?
Thanks

I never knew that Lisa was seen as "dated" til I started posting on mumsnet. I guess it was hugely popular 20-30 years ago and has dropped drastically in the charts since then.

But if you think about it, it fits with the current styles - short, snappy, ends in a - so I'm not sure why it's not popular.

I like it. Forget the charts and just pick a name you like.

Nothing wrong with it, little bland for my taste.
Reminds me of a relative who was thinking about naming dd Alison, nice enough, probably due a comeback, boring as..

I really like it.

I quite like it, it's a pretty sounding name and will be quite unusual amongst her peers without being a name that noone has heard of.
