HelpRe: Opinion and pronunciation of Liselotte
in reply to a message by Red robin
I would say most people if they knew anything about names would say Liesl-•lot, and if they had a basic.knowledge of German names it would be Liesl-lotter.
That being said, I have a friend who is just Liesl, which is a fairly familiar name to englihs speakers due to the Sound of Music, and she constantly gets called “Lisa” or “Lizzle” or “Lizzie” and most people don’t know if it’s a sssss s or a zzzzz s. So a British Lieslotte might have some issues with explaining pronunciation.
