Kizette for girl

My wife is 14 weeks pregnant.

Don't know gender yet but I have been thinking of M and F names.

One that has stuck out in my mind is 'Kizette'. Maybe 'Kiz' for short.

I think something a little unique would be good for my kid but I don't want it to be weird. Some outsider perspective would be good.

I have done some Googling and it seems as if there is literally only one other person who's had that name before.

The first holiday my wife and I went on was to Paris. We went to the George Pompidou Centre which has a lot of modern art, including stuff by an artist called Tamara de Lempicka. She had a daughter called Kizette. Tamara de Lempicka isn't my favourite artist but I knew her paintings and was surprised and pleased when I found the originals, and I guess seeing them in Paris sparked my interest in art and art history.

A brand name for a contraceptive pill, or perhaps incontinence pants was what immediately sprang to mind.

You could earn a fortune as a branding consultant, OP!

Sorry, but I think it's horrible. Agree that it sounds like a brand name.

If you like Kiz, why not Keziah?

It just sounds like a you-nique spelling of Cosette or a brand of contraceptive pill.

As a nickname I like Kizzy, Kiz but Kizette sounds like a brand name to me, maybe for tissues or sanitary protection. Sorry, not that my opinion matters.
