[name_m]Hi[/name_m], below is my short list of baby girl names, in no particular order. Please let me know your preferences in ranking and any comments. Middle names will most likely come from this list, too. [name_f]TIA[/name_f] for feedback!
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] ([name_f]Magda[/name_f])
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f]
Liesl
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f] – I love this name. It’s a little more distinctly [name_m]German[/name_m], but gosh I want it to cross over. Would love to meet a girl by this name. The closest I’ve come is knowing several hispanic girls/women named Liseth (lee-seth)who often go by [name_f]Lise[/name_f].
[name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f] – though Liseth may be something to consider here, legit name that brings together [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] and lisbeth. 
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] – love nn [name_f]Lena[/name_f] option too.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] – growing on me
[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] – greatly prefer [name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] – I prefer on a boy
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] – [name_m]Just[/name_m] not a fan.
I love [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]. I love [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] as much as I love Hollin. [name_f]Love[/name_f] the sound of it.
if you like [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f], have you considered [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]?
I prefer [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] looks like a tease to me.
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f] is not my taste, nor is [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], but [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is cute. I prefer [name_f]Camille[/name_f] or [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f].
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] isn’t bad, I like [name_f]Mae[/name_f] better.
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] isn’t my taste really, but it appreciate its beauty. [name_f]Lena[/name_f] would also be a cute nn.
I adore [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] & [name_f]Liesl[/name_f]
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]?
I thought I was the only one that liked [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]!
Not a huge fan of [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lizbeth[/name_f], or [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] but love the rest!
Thx so much for replies!!!
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], the Scottish form! But hubby isn’t a fan. [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] is the [name_m]German[/name_m] version, but I do agree now with a PP that it might be misread/heard as a mistake for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. And I didn’t even think of the association with Maleficent!!! I’m happy you mentioned that. Especially with the [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] movie coming out! Thank you.
Leisl is one of the few my husband and I can agree upon! And our first daughter is [name_u]Mischa[/name_u], so I like how they sound together. I’m a little worried about her being called Leisl deisel, but really, what name don’t kids make something out of it?! And [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] was on my boy list! I never considered it for a girl, but it’s starting to grow on me. Thx for your reply!
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] was always on my boy name list, and it just occurred to me how it would be nice for a girl! I’m glad you mentioned [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] being a tease for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. It didn’t occur to me that it may looked misspelled. It’s the [name_m]German[/name_m] version of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and I prefer the Scottish version, [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], but hubby doesn’t. thank you for replying!
[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] Leisl [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. I didn’t think of those two names together. My first daughter is [name_u]Mischa[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - so I feel like that would go sweetly together with her name. Adding it to my short/final list of first and middle together! Thank you.
I think [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] sounds nice with my first daughter’s name, [name_u]Mischa[/name_u]! Sounds sweet together. Thank you!
I love [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] and [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] (I prefer this spelling!)
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] is gorgeous, interesting and underused. A real gem!
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - love - beautiful meaning.
[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] / [name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f] - I like both of these ok, but I prefer [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] (or [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]).
Leisl - this is cute and spunky.
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] ([name_f]Magda[/name_f]) - pretty, nms. I love [name_f]Lena[/name_f] though, so if you were going to call her that, this would move up for me.
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - I like this but there are prettier names.
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] - too masculine and preppy sounding.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - I love it.
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - I like it. The nickname [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is lovely!
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] ([name_f]Magda[/name_f]) - It’s okay.
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] - I like it.
[name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f] - Reminds me of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s okay.
[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] - I like it.
Leisl - I love it.
I think you’re going to have the problem that most people will see Leisl and read it as [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] (most people replying did). [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] / [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] is a legitimate [name_m]German[/name_m] name and a diminutive of [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]. Leisl as well?
I’ve never heard of Leisl before and to be honest it looks like you accidentally misspelled [name_f]Liesl[/name_f].
I did misspell it! I want the [name_m]German[/name_m] spelling, like [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] [name_m]Von[/name_m] Trapp from the Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f]. =)
That’s what I thought but then you also spelled it Leisl in replies to comments so I thought you meant that name (which according to Google exists and basically has the same origins).
Are you or your partner [name_m]German[/name_m] in any way?
