Liesl combos
I'm test driving some Liesl (I decided I like this spelling best) combos to see how I like them...WDYT? Also, how do you think they work as a sibling to Matilda Piper. Liesl Winter
Liesl True
Liesl Brook
Liesl Faith
Liesl Verity
Liesl Cedar
Liesl Jubilee
Liesl Meadow*We tend to lean towards nature / virtue middle names, ones that have a lot of meaning but might be a bit much as a first name

I think Liesl Winter, Liesl True, Liesl Faith and Liesl Verity are all nice. I like Matilda Piper and Liesl Faith the best.

Liesl GwynethOn balance, it's hard to beat Liesl Meadow. I picture a beautiful maiden surrounded by spring wild flowers. GP combo that just popped into my head: Matilda Edelweiss. Hehe. I think I'll use it on one of my polls. Thanks for the inspiration.

I like Liesl, but the paired middlenames are quite uninspiring, and I feel that they pull the firstname-- an otherwise lovely choice-- down into a monotonous, uninspiring level.
It is an exeedingly German name, and the options listed seem to unbalance it.If I had to choose, I suppose I'd pick Liesl Brook.Matilda and Liesl should work... I am left feeling a bit yearningly, however.
It may just be the middlenames that are throwing me off, though.Best of luck,

My favorite combo is Liesl Winter, and I think it sounds great with Matilda Piper. The only ones that don't sound good to me are Liesl Jubilee and Liesl Cedar (too rhyme-y).
