Lisa

[circleSoflife]

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?

Bland and boring, sorry!

I agree that it's not one you think about much, but it's actually a really nice name! I'd find it refreshing to meet a little Lisa.

I also like Elise, Lise and Liesel.

I think it does sound quite dated, but that shouldn't necessarily put you off. It has a similar sound to a lot of current names - Ella, Elsa, Lila etc.

I know loads of mum Lisas. It's nice enough but quite middle aged now.

It's refreshing. I'm struggling to stifle yawns now when I'm introduced to yet another Sophia.

I don't like it. I thought it was outdated when I went to school with one in the 2000s. She was boring too.

I like it, and it's quite unusual now.

I really don't like it - for me it's in the same bracket as Donna, Mandy, Tracey etc...very 70's/80's... yes it might make a comeback as might the others I've mentioned but personally I think it's terrible.

Elise, Eliza??

Lisa, meet Donna, Mandy, Kelly, Karen, Sharon and Tracy.

I like it. It would be quite unusual nowadays.

I like it. It's quietly quirky for nowadays.

Awful.

Elisa is nice too

Like, like, like. I agree I am so bored of Ella, Matilda, Audrey, Izzy et al.

It's my name and I love it.

I don't agree with the bland comments - it's such a pretty name and due a comeback.

I prefer Lissa (like the ending of Melissa) - similar look, still simple and feminine, but a bit fresher.

No, terrible.

Horrendous.

I usually like the unexpected revival of uncool retro names, (HATE all the Stanleys, Ivys, Lilys etc) but Lisa has an ugly, harsh sound to it.

How can anyone say Lisa is bland and boring then suggest Elise? There are dozens around nowadays.

Lisa is my middle name, slipped in by my DF because my gran liked it. (Was supposed to be Caroline!). I've never really felt it was me.

On the other hand my uncle also called his DD Lisa (Lisa Marie!) and she absolutely rocks it!

Love Lisa, great name, I am biased as I have lovely smart, sporty, and fun loving friend named Lisa

It's my name! I have always liked my name. Bit 70s maybe but due a revival.

Love it! Best friend is a Lisa so I am totally biased!

3 lisas work in my office. All bitches.
Therefore I hate the name.

Pick something newer and not so dated and overused
