Lisa, Lily, Elise, Mia, Ella, Ellie?

Lisa is definitely dated. I like Elise but also Eliza is nice.

Lisa - a bit 1970s
Lily - done to death, dislike Lil
Elise - type of car. Loads of trouble usually serious
Mia - looks nice but sounds like Mere
Ella - nothingy
Ellie - twee and nothingy

I'd pick Lisa

I’ve never known an Ellie that was actually Ellie on the birth extricate, it’s generally a nickname for Eleanor which I think is a lovely name.

Mia is nice. It’s very common now so I don’t think you have to worry about people laughing that it sounds like “miaow” - it’s hardly a controversial name.

Lisa is so very dated for me. I know that shouldn’t matter and arguable it is a beautiful name I just… can’t think of it without picturing primary school in the early/mid 90s. I don’t think there are any other names at all that are so evocative of a certain time and place for me.

You could go for Elisabeth (rather than Elizabeth) and use Lisa as a nickname.

Hi I'm Lisa!
I'm very dated apparently 🤣🙈

I love my name though. And would like to see a Lisa comeback!

Ella, Mia and Elise are three of my fav names

MissyB1 · 05/03/2022 21:45

I love Lisa it’s easily the best on your list! And she wouldn’t be one of loads either. I work in a school, Lily, Mia, Elise and Ellie are all very popular. Ella isn’t too over used and is my second favourite.
