[Opinions] Liselot
I just love, love Liselot. Lieselotte just looks too long for me, but Liselot is pretty - almost as pretty as Liesel. Would you ever consider using this name?

Liselot is too much like Lancelot. I wouldn't use it. But I do adore the name Liesel!

Not really, because I tend to prn. it li-zuh-lo. But even Liselotte isn't my style at all. I prefer really prefer Liesel.

Liselot is really nice, but I prefer Liesel, by far. I'm loving Liesel, since you put your other message about it, thank you!Eva

I like it, although I must admit to preferring the Lieselotte spelling :-)

I love that name! It sounds a lot like a character I'm writing for one of my novels - she's a long-lost medieval princess who has to save her kingdom from an evil overlord and win back her rightful throne. To me it sounds like a tomboyish girl who's not afraid to stand up for herself and the people she cares about. I'll have to put it on my character's potential names list...or maybe I'll make the name I have for her at the moment (Aino, meaning 'the only one' in Finnish) her birth name and her adoptive name Liselot. It's sooo cool!

It is pretty. I prefer Lieselotte, but that's mainly for the pronunciation of it - LEE-se-LOT-teh.I almost used it in a story I was writing about a German girl (full name: Elisabeth Katharine Charlotte Hélène Mayer) but decided to just call her Liesl for short.Okay, I made up a royal family! That's why she's got so many names. Sprung!

I've never even heard of it. It almost looks like Liesette and Lancelot together, but I see it is actually a contraction of Liese and Charlotte.Not too bad of a name though, although nms

You're right - Liselot is the Dutch form of Lieselotte, a contraction of Liese and Charlotte :-)
