Which variation do you guys prefer? I used to fancy [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] a lot more until I got a comment saying, “[name_f]Liesel[/name_f] reminds me of [name_m]Diesel[/name_m]” ”
It’s currently a dilemma for me and I can’t seem to get a stand on either one ” Help!
Sending many thanks for future replies ”

[name_f]Liesel[/name_f]. I know both spellings are correct, but [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] looks more complete and it might cause less issues with people having to spell the name.
I prefer [name_f]Liesel[/name_f], it just seems classier if that makes sense. It’s a name I like and have seen several times but it never made me think of [name_m]Diesel[/name_m]
Both are fine in my opinion. My English speaking half would prefer [name_f]Liesel[/name_f], but as I am quite accustomed to [name_m]German[/name_m] spelling, and the sound of music, [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] works too. I guess I’d go with the spelling that is most suited to where you are, how most people would spell the name there.
A lot of names rhyme. I mean [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] - banana yet I’ve never heard anyone say my name reminded them of fruit. I think the same goes for diesel and liesel. Yes, they rhyme, but [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] would sooner remind me of the sound of music than diesel.
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f] looks like a misspelling and incomplete, so I much prefer [name_f]Liesel[/name_f]. I would not worry about the “diesel” rhyming–I had never even thought of that before you brought it up, in fact.
Many people in my family are called [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] (it’s quite popular in the small Austrian village I come from), so naturally I favour that spelling. I don’t know if it would cause pronunciation issues in the English-speaking world, though.
The [name_f]Liesel[/name_f]/[name_m]Diesel[/name_m] thing hadn’t occurred to me until you said it, and now I can’t unsee it.
