[name]Hi[/name] berries,
My brother and sister-in-law just found out they are expecting a baby girl in [name]August[/name]! She will be named [name]Liesl[/name] [name]Victoria[/name], and I was wondering what everyone’s opinions are! I’m excited to be Auntie [name]Em[/name] to baby [name]Liesl[/name]. I’ve always liked the name from The Sound of [name]Music[/name], but wouldn’t use it myself. What do you think?
I like [name]Liesl[/name] a lot. Most people will associate with The Sound of [name]Music[/name]
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Liesl[/name]! I had it on my short list. [name]Just[/name] didn’t work with the last names. I think it’s lovely.
[name]Lovely[/name] name, it does have a strong association with the Sound of [name]Music[/name], but it’s a good association! I think it is very pretty but doesn’t work with my last name very well.
I love it, especially because of The Sound of [name]Music[/name].
I love [name]Liesl[/name], it’s really sweet.
Oh I love [name]Liesl[/name]! It’s always been near the top of my list. It’s sweet, and I love it paired with [name]Victoria[/name].
I think it’s pretty and unexpected. 
[name]Lovely[/name] =)
I taught a [name]Liezl[/name] who was lovely and intelligent so it has positive connotations for me.
So many great characters are named [name]Liesl[/name]. The Sound of [name]Music[/name] is one of my favorite movies. The main character in The Book Thief by [name]Markus[/name] Zusak spells it “[name]Liesel[/name],” but I love her too.
I also thought of The Book Thief.
It’s a lovely name, and was on my list for a while. I took it off because my husband wouldn’t quit saying “[name]Liesl[/name] [name]Diesel[/name]”
I think its a darling name!
I absolutely love it!! So pretty!
I guess I’ll be the voice of dissent here. I don’t really like [name]Liesl[/name] too much. It rhymes with weasel and diesel so I don’t find the sound very appealing. I prefer [name]Anneliese[/name].
I know a [name]Liesl[/name] so I didn’t think of tSoM first. Though the [name]Liesl[/name] I know is 60ish and it thus feels old fashioned to me.
[name]Heidi[/name] and [name]Liesl[/name] however are names that berries seem to like and that just sound like old country bumpkin names to me.
(I think they are sweet, in an old fashioned innocent sort of way, I just wouldn’t use them).
Thanks for the feedback! I was surprised when I found out it was their choice. It’s refreshing to hear after a slew of trendy names around my area!
Being [name]German[/name], I was genuinely surprised when I found out (stumbling across Australian swimmer Leisel [name]Jones[/name] on TV) that this name is also used in English-speaking countries. It’s considered really old-fashioned here, along with other [name]German[/name] names that are brought up here on Nameberry every once in a while such as [name]Anneliese[/name] or [name]Hannelore[/name]. It is also really nickname-y, most Liesels are likely to have been christened [name]Elisabeth[/name], [name]Anneliese[/name], [name]Lieselotte[/name] or something else containing Li(e)se.
In any case, I prefer the most common spelling - [name]Liesel[/name]. Dropping the -e- before -l is very Bavarian/Austrian - and this is coming from someone who has been living in Bavaria all of her life. 
This is not meant to discourage you - I just felt the need to throw in some background information. If you like [name]Liesl[/name], go for it!
[name]Liesl[/name] is very charming, such a pretty name.
[name]Liesl[/name] is a very pretty and daring choice! I don’t think I would be brave enough to use it, but I would love to meet one!
Interesting information! It’s actually to be my niece’s name, so I have no say on the spelling. 
It’s actually my sister-in-law’s middle name, and since she was named after the Sound of [name]Music[/name] character, I know they are going with the [name]Liesl[/name] spelling.
