Comments for LETTICE:
Lettice looks too much like the food lettuce.-- Anonymous User 8/16/2005
Lettice Knollys (Knowles) (pronounced LET-is NOLZ), mother of the earl of Essex. Detested by Elizabeth I, to whom she was related (her grandmother was Mary Boleyn, sister of Elizabeth's mother Anne) and to whom she bore a strong resemblance. Ancestress of Winston Churchill and Princess Diana.-- Kosta 6/13/2006
I love how this name sounds like lettuce!-- nelirosala 6/22/2006
"Lettuce"? No, I pronounce this as "le-TEES".-- gaelruadh19 1/20/2007
I'm sorry but I don't think this is a very good name, they would be teased constantly, maybe as "Rabbit" or "Carrot" or even "Vege" or "Vegetable".-- bellaboo 1/21/2007
Nowadays it would indeed be pronounced "Le-TEES."-- Kosta 4/9/2007
You may as well name her Carrot!-- sweetkit 3/28/2008
The standard British pronunciation is LET-iss.
Let-EES would be a faux-French affectation, or just a pointless attempt to distinguish it from "lettuce".-- Elly747 5/5/2008
This looks more like the vegetable lettuce. I like Lettie a lot better, it's cuter.-- _0TophasNails_1 11/28/2008
Looks too much like Lettuce. You could name a child Carrit or Spinech and it would have the same effect.-- emmiix3 2/7/2009
Lettice Protherowe is a character in Agatha Christie's Murder at the Vicarage. It is one of the Miss Marple detective novels. She tells people that her estranged mother intended her name to be pronounced leh-TEESE, though no one does.-- KrisMichelle 4/21/2009
No matter how you want to pronounce it, it's always going to look like Lettuce.-- Anonymous User 5/15/2009
Lettice. So close to Lettuce. I can't believe anyone would actually name a child this.-- -Julia- 8/2/2009
Lettice doesn't look like a real name. It looks too much like "lettuce".-- bananarama 8/5/2009
This name seems so dainty and elegant, I adore it.-- vomiting 1/10/2010
This is an alright name, really, and I have heard it being used before. And, yes, before you say anything, on a human girl. :)-- walesgal92 1/16/2010
Great, lets just name our kids tomato and onion -.-
Ugly name.-- Chrila96 10/18/2010
I know a Lettice and prior to meeting her would have thought about the same as the majority, that this is a food!
She is most lovely though, so regal. A real English rose. Beautiful young women who carries the name well. Her unique name and she are alike. They compliment each other! Maybe her name makes her who she is and how I perceive her. I just don't know! Cool name anyway!-- Rhona J 2/22/2011
I've developed quite an affection for this name in recent years. If you can get over the homophonous leaf vegetable, you're left with quite a pretty, charming and dainty name for a little girl. Probably not so great for a real child though, as it is usually met with too much negativity; but on a fictional character, it could work really well!-- JJSkeete 5/14/2012
