I'm sorry op
It sounds like a type of contraceptive pill 🙈

I know one! Hadn’t heard the name before I met her about 6 months ago. I like it, it’s pretty- but I can see where pp are coming from with the contraceptive/tampon comments 😂

It's pretty. Don't know what people are on about with the tampon etc. comments. Are they thinking of lil lets ?

Not my style, sorry!

Lisette is okay
Liselle is prettier

Yes, it's the Lillet / Cezerette connection I think.

It’s not pretty. Does sound like Lilets unfortunately. And her nn would be Liz.

How about:
Elise
Eliza
Loretta
Betsy

But the thing about lilets is nonsense really. Lisette and lil let don't even rhyme. It just happens to start with 'l' and end in 'ette'. It's a pretty name, quite unusual in the UK. The short version would be 'Lise' not 'Liz'. Oh, are you all thinking it's pronounced 'liz-et'? It's not, it's 'lees-et' I always thought. Maybe that explains the weird reactions!

Lots of names end in 'et/ett' , especially French ones, there's Annette, Cosette, Mariette, Jeannette, Juliet/Juliette, etc, it's quite normal.
