Help[Opinions] Re: Liselotte
in reply to a message by hennig
I love it (although I prefer the Lieselotte spelling).
The pronunciation would be a problem in an English-speaking country, where it would be pronounced LEE-seh-lot. (I also find that it's very hard to pronounce correctly, at least in an Australian accent, without sounding pretentious). I still think it's lovely even with the English pronunciation.
Looks and personality don't come from one's name so I make a point of never pretending that they do :-)
