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 Lisa is nicer than Louise although may be biased by it being my middle name and the middle name of half my contempories, and also because it was so bloody hard to learn how to spell with those three vowels in a row. Much of my early work is signed Firstname Lousie Surname.

Anyway that's a bit of a tangent as OP didn't mention Louise - yes OP I think Lisa is fine and lovely, and will be relatively unusual for this generation as well.

I really dislike names like Lucia and versions of names with an a on the end. Prefer Louise, it is classical, I had a vintage style porcelain doll named this as a child.

Sorry, I meant Louise is my middle name not Lisa

Lisa is okay but that is the issue, it's abit blah imo.

I do think it is a nice enough name though

I think Lisa is slightly dated but maybe vintage enough to start being used again. It's a bit more interesting than Louise which is a classic name, if a bit dull (sorry to all the Louise's out there).
Elise is quite cool as an alternative.
Louisa/Lucia are a bit faux Italian for me..

I know a very nice Lisa so think it's a good name. I'd maybe go with Elizabeth using Lisa as a NN to give more options.

No I probably wouldn't
Liza maybe

I should have said sorry to all the Lisa's out there for calling it blah

If you live in London or SE, the child could be called Leee-saaaaarrrr

Lousie is more elegant

I don’t like it- Lisa Simpson

I don't like Lisa but I think that's more to do with the fact that the 3 Lisa's I have met were all foul so that clouds my judgement on names somewhat.

It’s a very pretty name I think. Phonetically pleasing and looks nice written. I’ve always liked it and think it’s a real shame it’s fallen out of favour.

I think it's lovely. If it hadn't got so popular in the 70s (and therefore been considered dated by some people) I think it would be a very popular name today, as it's in-line with the current fashion for shorter, vowel-heavy girls names ending in "a".

Having said that, I'd find a baby Lisa a refreshing change amongst all the Isla's and Ava's and Evie's.

No, but only because I have 7 friends called Lisa, maybe more!

So so so so dated

I like it, simple and pretty, suits anyone, any walk of life, any temperament.

Lisa is fine. It's nice but it was over-popular in the 1970s

Louise is nice but was every other girl's middle name in the 70s and 80s

Lucia is nice but has several pronunciations

I would, I love it.

I like the name Lisette.

I think it is a little dated, I’d probably go for something like Ilse if I liked Lisa.

Very 80s

I only knew one Lisa and she constantly had nits.

No it's dated in the sense it isn't dated enough to be fashionable and is yet quite a 'common; middle aged named

I really like it.

Horrid and dated, I’d put it in the same category as Tina, Diane, Becky
