No

Argeles · 12/01/2019 16:11

Yes, it’s pretty.

costacoffeecup · 12/01/2019 16:13

Well it's different from the usual Isla/Ava which is good. I think I quite like it.

Lisette Anthony is the only Lisette that springs to mind.

MaraScottie · 12/01/2019 16:16

I think it's lovely.

tammytoby · 12/01/2019 16:33

Pretty. I also like Yvette.

2019Reasons · 12/01/2019 16:33

I think it’s really lovely

PlayingForKittens · 12/01/2019 16:36

This is what springs to mind for me. Though that is probably only relevant to people with a somewhat French childhood of the right age!

Aprilshowerswontbelong · 12/01/2019 16:37

Sounds like a tampon brand.

buckingfrolicks · 12/01/2019 16:37

Lovely

comebacksoonsusan · 12/01/2019 16:39

I think it's a bit sanitary protection brand too.

Aethelthryth · 12/01/2019 16:42

Horrible, twee, fake-French

SawnUpLooRoll · 12/01/2019 16:47

Absolutely lovely. It would age well and can be shortened all sorts of ways if your DC would like to.

ShadyLady53 · 12/01/2019 16:50

I like it. I know a little Nicolette and think that’s a lovely name...Lisette is even prettier sounding.

daisypond · 12/01/2019 16:57

Lisette is fine. It's a diminutive already, so not sure it needs shortening, but you could, of course.

DramaAlpaca · 12/01/2019 19:32

I think it's too pretty actually, and a bit on the twee side.

But at least it's a bit different from the usual names you hear everywhere these days.

INeedNewShoes · 12/01/2019 19:33

The Lysette I know is spelt with a Y.

I think it's a nice name.

LuluBellaBlue · 12/01/2019 19:35

Love it 🥰

YepImafraidIchangeditagain · 12/01/2019 19:38

Sounds like the pill.

swapsicles · 12/01/2019 19:42

Kind of sounds like a brand of contraceptive

Disfordarkchocolate · 12/01/2019 19:44

I think it's lovely.

sue51 · 12/01/2019 19:44

It sounds pretty and feminine.

RCohle · 12/01/2019 22:09

Is it "li" like the sound in lid or like leed?

It's nice enough but a bit contraceptive/tampon brand. I think it strikes a good balance between not being very common whilst not being ott yoonique though.

Ihuntmonsters · 12/01/2019 22:13

It's one of the many diminutives of Elizabeth/ Elisabeth. Nice enough but I prefer Elisabeth.

Marcipex · 12/01/2019 23:47

Love it.

Crankupthe · 12/01/2019 23:53

I have an Elise and I call her Lisette as a pet name sometimes
