Would you use Lisa today?

[DreamReverie]

Confession time: i really like name Lisa. I mostly like sound of it, and also love Louise and Lucia.
Is it usable or too dated?

I think it’s lovely

I think it is somewhat dated, feels 1970's to me, but that doesn't make it unusable. The amount I care about things like 'dating' is inversely proportional to how much I love a name.

I love the name Lisa, I didn’t realise how dated it was considered till I read it on here

I like Lisa, but marginally prefer Louise. Not so keen on Lucia.

I think many 60s and 70s names are due a revival.

I think it's very useable. I also love Louise, prefer it to themore popular Louisa.

It is dated but it is very pretty. I think we should bring it back.

Nothing wrong with Lisa in my opinion.

I remember reading a thread on here a few years ago, which declared Lisa to be "bland". Posters then went on to suggest names like Isla (an anagram of Lisa) and Elsa instead.

I couldn't get my head around why people thought one name was bland, but very similar names weren't! I think people follow fashions more than they care to admit...

It's a dated name, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad one. Lisa is still in low use at the moment (41 born in 2020 in England and Wales).

I like it.

Its a lovely name

Too dated, it’s a mum name heading to granny name. It’ll come back in 20 years.

The other two are fine. Louise was popular at the same time but because it’s got a long history in the UK it feels classic.

I used it for DDs middle name, although with the alternative spelling using an E.

60’s name for me. I wouldn’t chose it.

I don’t think it’s too dated, but I do think it’s a very boring name.

I know quite a posh couple and they have a 10 year old Lisa. I was a bit surprised when I first met her, but it's a pretty name. Certainly useable.

I think it's dated but not old enough to make a comeback yet. How about Annalisa with Lisa as nickname? That way your child could also choose Anna as a short form later.

Laoise, pronounced Lee Sha is an Irish name, but you wont be allowed to use it because people will tell you nobody can spell it!

Lots of friends called Lisa. I'm 50.
Louisa is much nicer.

Louise is a timeless name imo. I know a few Louises of different ages from 20 to 70 and they all suit their name.

I don't like Lisa and think it is very dated but I really like the name Louise (my daughter middle name) I also really like Luisa I only know 1 and she is 42 but think it is a really lovely name

My best friend from school is Lisa, I think it's a really nice name. We're 50s though so it does have a 1970s ring to it. Louise hasn't dated as much.

Lisa is nice. You might start a revival of the name!! Elise is also nice and I like Louisa, rather than Louise, the 'A' on the end gives it more character, I think 😍

I don’t like Louise at all

I like it. Also like Elise which is less dated.
Not keen at all on Louise. But love Lucia

I love Lisa - definitely due a revival
