"My name is Isabella Maude, I go by Lisa. I love how it's pronounced in English but I hate how it's pronounced in Portuguese (Leeza) Sounds too much like Liza. I'm 12 years old and a lot of people call me Isabella or Bella but I prefer Lisa." Aug. 10, 2021:

"I love the name Lisa. I named my daughter Lisa Brianna and she kind of hates because it makes her sound old. There is a reason I named her Lisa and that was because when I was 4 years old my half brother had girlfriend who was in drug rehab She had a child named Lisa. My parents took Lisa in as foster child and was like a little sister to me. When she had to leave our care of almost 2 years it broke my heart. Ever since then I always said if I have a daughter I want to mame her Lisa and that is what I did. I used a different middle name because hers was Marie and that is too common of a middle name. Bit my daughter does respect why I named her Lisa and she did like her name when she was younger. She is 15 at the time of me writing this." Apr. 17, 2021:

"In my personal opinion, Lisa is The Best name I?ve ever heard. Nothing compares to the sheer elegance in those four letters. Meeting other people named Lisa is always so exciting. Back in middle school, I met another Lisa for the first time, and we did this thing where whenever we passed each other in the hallway, I?d say ?Hi Lisa,? and she?d say ?Hi Lisa.? Nothing beats that sense of camaraderie. I think the world would be a better place if there were more people named Lisa in it. Never mind that there?s already been a million or so of us. We need more. Nothing can stop us." Jun. 19, 2020:

"My name is Lisa Ann (1967) and my life partners name is Lisa Anne (1963). My family calls her Lisa Lisa and I am just Lisa. I like the name, and have never met a mean Lisa yet. A Lisa is beautiful, strong minded, and persistent. Really listen to the name. Say it a couple times. It isn't plain. It sounds sexy. I hope for a come back one day, but not an explosive comeback like back in the day." Feb. 3, 2020:

"I'm Lisa Anne. 1977. I grew up with my mom telling me Lisa was a combo between her sister Linda and my dad's sister Leslie. When I hit around 38 my dad tells me it was really after a girl her went to school with in the 50's named Lisa who wasn't very cute, but was very nice to him. I like my name, but just today I was called both Liza and Leslie. No name is perfect I suppose." Jan. 10, 2020:

"Hi my name is Lisa, I'm 18. In my language, swedish, Lisa rhymes with fart=fisa. I've hade a fabulous life. xoxo ya girl Lisa fart" Mar. 4, 2019:

"I was born in 63 and yes I?m a Lisa. My middle name is Marree. I know around 30 Lisa?s, all of varying ages. My best friend at school was a Lisa and her brother married a Lisa. I hated my name growing up but like most people I?ve accepted it. My Dad started calling me Lily when I was young and it has stuck, some people know me as Lisa and others know me as Lily." Sep. 22, 2018:

"I was born in 2000 so my name, Lisa wasn't popular. But Lisa is an AMAZING name and i LOVE my parents for giving it to me!!" Jun. 2, 2016:

"Lisa Ann, born in 1967, and I love my name! It has always had a certain soft beauty to it. I hope to see it become popular again!" Apr. 20, 2016:

"I'm Lisa Therese and I was born in 1961. I had no idea my name was so common in the decades I was in school. I don't remember there being a lot of us. I've always liked it." Jan. 26, 2016:

"I love my name! My dad and his sister both wanted to name their first born daughters Lisa Marie. My aunt had 3 sons and no daughters before I was born. I am the only girl out of 9 grandchildren. So I guess it was meant to be me. My dad was always a huge Elvis fan. I was born in '72 when there were lots of Lisa's being born. Although...my name is not Lisa Marie. It is LaRee. :)" Jan. 20, 2016:

"In grade five there were five of us Lisa's long before Lisa Lisa and the cult jam :) I like my name, its soft, slinky, humble. Although ears perk up everytime someones talking about lease's and eyes double take when you see poorly printed 'made in USA', it can look like LISA. Lisa's have all been cool and kind people. I also fantasized about having a more masculine name, like Alexandra or Samantha, but now I adore the crisp simplicity of my name, and proud it comes from Elizabeth, name of countless short forms. Sometimes meeting new people I will tell them my name is Liesel, or Lisette just to add some spice. :)" Sep. 9, 2015:

"I have a personal friend named Lisa who's my junior by just 19 days! Mind you, this was after the craze of the sixties and seventies!" Aug. 28, 2015:

"Lisa is a wonderful name! It's feminine and pure. My late Dad named me Lisa Tracy. I adored him and the names he chose for me :)" Jul. 18, 2015:

"My name is Lisa and I just turned 60. I was named just before the name became super popular. There were no other Lisas in my class. I was always thankful my parents didn't name me the very popular Debbie or Linda from my era. It really bugs me when people call me Linda by mistake. The name Lisa is so much better!" May. 14, 2015:

"I am Lisa Marie. I like my name, no one says it wrong or spells it wrong. However, I am NOT named after Elvis' daughter, I am a year older than her!" Mar. 27, 2015:

"I AM LISA SUSAN. I LIKE MY NAME. I WAS BORN IN DECEMBER OF 1969. I WAS EITHER GOING TO BE LISA OR DENICE. THANKS FOR MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE MOM..." Mar. 25, 2015:

"I'm a guy born in late 1960s married to a woman named Lisa. Growing up, it seemed almost every girl in school I liked had this name and it was almost a running joke with my friends. I didn't realize until I was well past college how popular this name is with women of my generation. As a teacher, I now realize how rare a name it is in both little kids and teenagers today. Amazing how things change!" Sep. 28, 2012:

"I'm Lisa Ruth, born in 1960. Always loved the name Lisa, but hated Ruth. Now I don't mind it and have starting introducing myself as Lisa Ruth. My mother's first name is Ruth and since she's 83, it's becoming dear to me. Every time I meet another Lisa, I ask her what her middle name is; I've never met another Lisa Ruth. I just happened to meet a Lisa today at the optometrist office and she must have been in her early 20s - Lisa Ann. My parents said I was named after their friends' Basset Hound. LOL" Sep. 25, 2012:

"im Lisa Marie born in the late 80's!!My grandmother was well happy when she heard i was called lisa as she was elizabeth but mum said it was because she liked the name of elvis presleys daughter...ive had a few mispellings and pronuncations such as liza and pronounced lee-za its been shortened to lis.its an ok name but wish id been named something a little less known." Oct. 3, 2011:

"All through my life, I was known for meeting girls named "Lisa". I used to think it was some weird obsession with the name, but I now realize it's because I was born in the late 1960's and it was that era's version of "Emma" or "Brittany" or "Madison" for girl's baby names. I even married a Lisa. I bet in 2050 there'll be some middle-aged person posting something similar about a name like "Madison" or "Samantha" or something." Apr. 12, 2011:

"My name is Lisa Renee. I am 25 years old. Born in 1985. All through school I was the only Lisa. I've always liked my name. It's short, everyone can say/spell it & it's uncommon for people my age. I also like that there isn't a nickname. I wish I would have thought to name my daughter 'Lisa' one day. I think I fit the name Lisa though...dark brown hair, tall, lean, wears glasses, & smart/nerdy. Good name to call yourself! :-)" Feb. 21, 2011:

"I am a Lisa from the mid 70s and there were tons of Lisas at my school - elementary, Jr. High and High school. I always wanted a more sophisticated name like Elizabeth. I did like that no one ever misspelled my name, and four letters made it easy for crafts we did at school. Now that no one is being named Lisa anymore I like it a lot better, and I always thought my name sounded "cool". Cool girls are named Lisa!" Dec. 6, 2010:

"My name is Lisa Anne. I am an 1968 baby. It seemed like growing up that everyone was named Lisa. I was named after my grandmother (Elizabeth) and Anne after my Mom (Ann). I often wished I had a different name, but now that I am older, it isn't that bad." Nov. 15, 2010:

"Im Lisa Marie and I was born in 78 I was going to be Lisa Sian but my dad did not know how to spell sian so put marie instead. I hate being called Liza and I quite like my name. Its not popular at all now but I think it will make another appearance" Oct. 15, 2010:

"I'm another of the 1000's of Lisa's from the 70's. Sharing my name with someone in class or at work is just part of my life. I'm fine with my name and if asked to pick a new name I would just stick with mine. It's easy to say and spell and no one has to ask me my name twice. My husband has a more uncomman name with different spellings and he always has to correct people and spell his name. I would find that annoying. The only thing I hated about growing up with my name was that even though if seemed like half the world was named Lisa, it rarely ever showed up on TV or in movies." Oct. 5, 2010:

"My name is Lisa and my middle name is Mignon. I was born in March 1953. I have always been proud my name and enjoy being one of the originals with the name Lisa. I haven't met an older Lisa so far. Well, of course there was the Mona Lisa!" Sep. 22, 2010:

"My name is spelled Licia but its pronounced Lisa. Iv always not liked Licia because it was uncommon and both my schools spelled it Lisa and no one knew. I am 16 this week and goin into sixth form and i loove the originality of my name now, so it'll be spelt that way. I'll ask people whether they'd prefer to pronounce it Lisa or lee-see-a because i like both." Aug. 21, 2010:

"I like my name - Lisa Marie - although I didn't for a long time. I'm 26 and a couple of my friend's in elementary school had mom's named Lisa. Everyone thinks my parents were Elvis fans and that had nothing to do with it. My sister is named Liberty so I grew up thinking my name was boring comparatively. Now I think that my name is just as unique because of being named after its peak popularity and not many people in my age group have the same name." Aug. 20, 2010:

"I'm 16, and my name is Lisa Marie. I'm in 11th grade, and throughout elementary and middle school, I was the only Lisa. Now in my high school, there are 2 other Lisas. Very uncommon in my town. I wish my name was spelled "Lyssa" or "Leesa", but my mom chose "Lisa" the common spelling. I wasn't named after anyone famous. My mom just always liked that name." Jul. 30, 2010:

"I'm Lisa. I am not named after anyone. I don't mind it, it's a name. It doesn't claim the type of person you are. I know alot of Lisa's and non of us are alike. Enjoy the name Lisa!" May. 26, 2010:

"There were 5 Lisas in my kindergarden class (1966 - 67) and we only had about 60 kids in our whole grade, so that's a high percentage! I differentiated myself by referring to myself as "Lisa Ann", but it didn't stick. That's OK, "Lisa" by itself is still a pretty name." May. 7, 2010:

"I'm Lisa Marie; born before the "famous" one. I've always liked my name. The only problem was in elementary school in the 70's; there was a lot of us. However, now I don't hear it that often. Also, seeing young girls being named Lisa. That's nice. I don't think it's an old name...sweet, romantic and I've been told it's a "sexy" name. No complaints." May. 2, 2010:

"Although there were always other Lisas in my classes at school, now I don't find too many. It is funny to hear that it is now considered by some to be an "old person's name." I am 41, and I guess that's pretty ancient when you are 16. I guess "Lisa" is to girls these days what "Elenor" was to me when I was 16! Yikes!" Apr. 19, 2010:

"I'm a Lisa and I've always loved my name. I don't hear it as an "old" name at all. I was born in 1984 and I know a few other Lisas my age. I've always thought it is a sweet, girly, pretty name that's nice and short. I think it's due for a comeback..." Feb. 21, 2010:

"I'm Lisa Gail. I was one of 4 Lisas in my 9th grade social studies class, and it was kind of a drag to have such a common name, but I've always liked my name and I think it's pretty. Other than being called "Lisa pizza" for whatever reason, I had no problems with anyone making fun of it." Feb. 16, 2010:

"My sister is named Lisa Paige, she is 14. She is super smart and funny and she gets along well with children who are older around 6-10 when she watches them. She loves her first name but she absolutely hates Paige. Personally, I think the name suits her spunky personality!" Feb. 8, 2010:

"my name is Lisa Nicole. big kudos to my parents, because i think those two names just sound beautiful together. i'm actually thinking of hyphenating them to use as my first name. i was born in '91, so my name isn't that common with kids my age but i know lots of lisas my parents age. i think that shortening lisa is just unnecessary, i only let very good friends call me lise, and my best friend calls me lee." Jan. 8, 2010:

"The nicest people, in fact the nicest person i know is named Lisa.I think that this is a great name." Jan. 5, 2010:

"I was called Lisa after my auntie also, and i used to hate my name! I always thought it was far too short. I was born in 1992, a pretty common year to be called Lisa really.. However i am not a Lisa Marie, i'm a Lisa Mary :)" Oct. 6, 2009:

"I've always loved the name Lisa, I think it is so beautiful. I named my daughter Lisa Faith Jones. She is now 13 years old and I've noticed that this name isn't as common as it used to be. She has no other girls named Lisa in her class. I almost named her Chloe, now I'm glad I didn't because it is so common." Sep. 16, 2009:

"My mom named me Lisa after a song she heard in 1960 while in the hospital having me. She originally named me Tamara and then she changed it to Lisa after hearing the song on the radio.The song that says "Mona Lisa men have named you!!!" My middle name is Rose which I think goes well with Lisa." Aug. 26, 2009:

"Wow, Lisa Michelle seems to be a common combination. Mine too. I used to hate my name coz it seemed really plain, but now I think it suits me, as a Christian I love the meaning behind it and it seems to carry some respect with it. It might have nerdy connotations but I'd rather have nerdy than anything else. It's not a common name for me, I never come across other Lisas." Jul. 7, 2009:

"My name is Lisa Michelle and I was born in 1981. It was nice that there weren't a lot of other Lisa's in my class growing up. However, The Simpon's were BIG when I was in elementary and middle school so there were a lot of jokes about that." May. 28, 2009:

"I'm Lisa Michelle, born in 1962. I like my name. Not many people have it, but people know it and it doesn't get mispronounced. Not many young people with the name Lisa." May. 24, 2009:

"My fiance's name is Lisa. A very short, yet pretty name. Some days she has said that the name irritates her, but I know she likes it. I really think that the name encapsulates all that she is. Beautiful, caring, broody, intelligent and soulful." May. 19, 2009:

"My name is Lisa and I was born in 1980s. I was sometimes teased and called Lisa Liza Minelli which was later shortened to Liza Liza Lot (Lisa lies a lot). Fun times. I plan to give my children classic names so no one can guess how old they are just by their names." May. 9, 2009:

"My Name is Lisa Reina....was supposed to be Renee but my Mom said she was on a lot of drugs when she was filling out my Birth certif... either way I am thankful that it isn't Marie! Growing up I had a step sister that lived in the same house and we we forced to go by our middle names at home for 13 years (mine Renee, hers was Marie) Although my Mom has always called me Lee... she only reffers to me as Lisa when talking about me to someone else.. it's wierd! Most of my friends either call me Lise or Lisa Lisa. And a few Lisi Lou's and Lou Lee's, but no one has ever called me Lee Lee... that was my step sisters nick name, and some how it just doesn't fit me at all! For such a short name it sure does create a lot of drama!" May. 5, 2009:

"My name is Lisa Susan...as opposed to Leslie Suzanne had my mother gotten her way (UGH) I have been called Liz, Liza, LisaSue, Leece and Leecy. My parents eventually picked the name Lisa from their favorite song..thank GOD they did not decide on Mona...hehe. I have never minded my name or the nick names.." Apr. 5, 2009:

"my name is Lisa Terry, I was born in 1963, I always loved my name, it was very popular during that era, I always got a lot of compliments on my name Lisa just beautiful" Mar. 3, 2009:

"My name is Lisa Gail. I was one of five Lisas all through school. I never minded my name, and I've noticed that around 1970 when I was born, there was a huge crop of Lisas. So I gave my son and daughter unique names, Dakota and Scarlett, respectively. I like the meaning of my name." Feb. 9, 2009:

"I'm Lisa Ellen, and I also have never met another with that combo. For the most part I love my name except when my family from boston call me Lisar Ellen. My favorite is lili, reserved only for those that are close." Jan. 28, 2009:

"hey mY name is lisa too! AND I LOVE IT! I GET CALLED LISA LEESE, LEE, MONA (HAHA), LISA SIMPSON." Jan. 10, 2009:

"My name is Lisa (middle name Ellen). I love my name. Its my surname that is prnounced wrong, never my name. But the author Jackquline Wilson did ask me do i spell my name with a z or a s, i replied with a s." Nov. 13, 2008:

"Im Lisa-Jane! Im 33 - I never used to like my name growing up-but I quite like it now. I have a small group of really good friends and 2 of them are also called Lisa. Gets quite confusing!!! I get called Lise, Lisey, Lee Lee, Lee. I have recently heard a child in my sons school called Lisa (she will be around 6yrs old) it doesnt seem like a popular name now-but I think its quite nice." Oct. 13, 2008:

"My name is Lisa Ann Merina. When I took Italian in college, my prof asked for our full names on an index card. She called me "Lisanna" or "Lisanna Merina". My close friends from college still call me this today. I enjoy it :)" Aug. 22, 2008:

"I'm Lisa Kay and I really like my name. My friends often call me Lee, Lis ("lease"), Lisa-Lis, and Lisa-Lisa. Doesn't bother me a bit. Lisa was very popular when I was born, but I still haven't met many others named Lisa." Jun. 12, 2008:

"I changed sex so got to choose my own name! I chose Lisa Jane and obvously I absolutely love it." May. 17, 2008:

"I'm a Lisa Joan, and I don't know anyone else with that combination (met a couple of Lisa Janes along the way, though). I used to HATE people calling me "Lis" (pronounced "lease") -- I would tell them, "I'm not a rental agreement, dammit!" I told friends that if they absolutely NEEDED to shorten an already-short name, they could call me "Li" (pronounced "Lee"). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Cheers and a shout-out to all my sister Lisas!" May. 8, 2008:

"My name is Lisa Marie.. I use to think it was so boring, but now I think it's cute! I get called Lis, Lisi, Lisalisa, and Little Lisa.. I've only known one other girl to have the name Lisa all through-out my school years (and she was never in my class!) even if the name was popular in the 60's I don't really know if it's fair to say it's a popular name.. I mean take a look at names like Jennifer or Ashley, now those are popular names" May. 1, 2008:

"mii name is LISA MARIE lma0o and i never knew how many lisaz there were ...l0ol thats weird!" Apr. 24, 2008:

"I'm Lisa Judith. I've never met anyone else with that combination. There were tons of other Lisa's when I was little because it was the most popular girl's name of that year. Now I don't meet so many. From other people I get Lisa-Lisa, Lis (prounounced lease), and, from a wannabe poet, Lisa Pizza." Mar. 16, 2008:

"I'm Lisa Jane and I think it's such a cute combo. No-one in my class has ever had the name Lisa, even from P.1. Lucky me, eh? I don't really like Lisa Marie. It's gone out of style. But I still like Lisa!!" Feb. 7, 2008:

"i am very glad i am not lisa marie because i know too many of those. I am Lisa Rachelle which i think goes together nicely and no one else has it. lisa is a good neutral name, it does sound old and its not too trendy. everyone can spell it, and the dont mispronounce it. and i cant stand to be called Leese, Liz either. Lisa is not a long name, people shouldnt try and shorten it.i do get called lisalisa a lot, after lisalisa and the cult jam and thats ok." Feb. 5, 2008:

"i'm a lisa marie and i love it. parents were not elvis fans, they just thought it was nice and feminine, haha. i was the BIGGEST tomboy" Feb. 3, 2008:

"I love my name. It is pretty and simple and with all other names that are popular you don't find to many lisa's anymore! I even like saying it to myself..Lisa.. Thanks mom" Jan. 6, 2008:

"Love my name! "Lisa Marie". Dad was an Elvis fan, Mom says it sounded french to her. It was the 60's and they loved it! I am thankful they didn't name me something strange. Nicknames..LeeSee..and WeeSah...from my cousins when they were babies and couldn't say Lisa yet. Otherwise, it's Lee. I don't like Lis. I don't answer to it. God bless us Lisa Marie's!!" Jan. 4, 2008:

"so this is my name as well. i like it when someone asks me how to spell it....im like uh lisa. i dont have much nicknames. lise,lisalynn. but thats my bf calling me that. im trying to think of something different... i like li.. OR EL...im sorry but lisa is such a blah name. plus its hard to get a nickname from this theres only 4 letters... :(" Jan. 2, 2008:

"I love my name, it's short, and not really girly. Girly names are gross." Dec. 30, 2007:

"i spell it lisa, people call me lee, lise, i like that its so short, plus i play the saxophone like lisa simpson. (no joke).. it CAN get annoying when people FINALLY make the connection btw me and lisa simpson though... and start singing LISA ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA...(all you simpsons fans will know what im talking about...)" Oct. 8, 2007:

"My name is lisa and i think it is the most amazing thing i am named after the simpsons and the mona lisa painting . ,my name is special because it is unique and short to spell only one other person in my school has the same name! Lisa rocks!" Oct. 2, 2007:

"My name is Lisa and I kinda like it. I'm named after anyone, so it unique in my family. When I was in High School, I met atleast 3 or 4 Lisas. I never realised it was that popular a name until then. I was born in the 80s. It seems the name is disappearing as the decades go, but I have a feeling it will come back again." Oct. 1, 2007:

"Easy to spell. Easy to say. I just worry, however, that we Lisa's from the 60's are destined to be the Mildreds, Friedas and Myrtles of our generation. I am hoping the name ages well." Sep. 27, 2007:

"My daughter's name is Lisa Marie. I love it!!! It is beautiful name." Aug. 31, 2007:

"I love my name; however, my surname happens to be Carter by marriage. When most people initially meet me for the first time, they tend to call me Linda. It took me a while to figure out how they could associate the name Lisa with Linda. When this happens I usually play a little "wonder woman" joke on them; and then I re-emphasize that my name is Lisa and not Linda. Besides, I don't even look like a Linda. (lol)" Aug. 21, 2007:

"I name my daughter Lisa renee rose .My mother writes it Liza, but i love her name.and I name it after a cousin of mine." Aug. 4, 2007:

"I love this name. My daughter is Lisa Marie and she is most beautiful and smart girl in the world!!!" Jul. 31, 2007:

"I was born in February of 1966. My mom wanted to name Alicia, but my dad didn't like the name, so my parents settled on Lisa-anne. Fast forward to July 1983, and my mom was dying of cancer. While in a coma, my sister and I were sitting with her. She woke up momentarily and told me how beautiful my daughter Alicia was and thanked me for naming her first grand-daughter that name. The thing was though, I was 17, wasn't pregnant, and did not have any children. My mom died the next day, and a month later I was pregnant with my daughter! Whew!" Jul. 26, 2007:

"my name is lisa, and i am called lise also. and i absolutely love my name. it's so simple.. and so easy to remember, because anywhere/everywhere you go nowadays you'll meet a lisa." Jul. 17, 2007:

"well my name is Lisa and i am quite young and i love my name. I havent met many Lisa's but yeah i just love it. Some people call me Lisa sounded like (Lise) but thats ok." Jun. 24, 2007:

"I absolutely love my name. In my school there is only 1 other Lisa, as now it is less common as it was in the 60's. I don't like being called the other names that are grouped with Lisa (eg Liza, Liz, Lizzie) I have always loved my name and always will. I also think that the ancient greek meaning Pledge to God is really interesting and cool. There are many names I love out there, but I'm more than happy with Lisa" May. 28, 2007:

"I never thought about it much. Men always seem to find this name sexy. I had a guy tell me "I never met a bad looking Lisa in my life." And he wasn't saying it in a Eddie Haskel kind of way either." May. 26, 2007:

"Born in 1962, I also received the most common name going at the time. There were always other "Lisa's" in my classes and some with the same last name initial as well, so we always had to put our full names on our papers. I changed the spelling when I was in Junior High to "Leesa", I SO wanted to be different. Eventhough it's now spelled phonetically, people still ask me how it's pronounced and some will pronounce it "LeeZa", funny that. In Hebrew "Lisa" means "consecrated to God", which I always knew growing up but now has special significance as I am considering going into spiritual work. I have wondered for so long what my purpose in this life is, all I had to do was embrace my name. "What's in a name" indeed! Blessings, Leesa!" May. 24, 2007:

"Lisa is an awesome name. I love my name though oddly, majority of my nicknames are longer than my original name." May. 21, 2007:

"My name is Lisa and I love my name. I know three other people with the name Lisa. They always pronounce it correct except they think its somethimes spelled leeza or liza. The correct pronounce is like this lee sah. All the other Lisa's that I know seem to be nice..I guess anyone name Lisa has a great personality and is nice." Mar. 9, 2007:

"My name is Lisa, i was born in 1992 and i'm French i didn't know that it was an american name...do you guys have an idea of a good nikname?lol i like my name, it's quite simple when you're little to learn how to spell it lol and a lot of people say that's a cute name!" Jan. 21, 2007:

"my name is lisa and it is ok i used to hate it but i find it ok now i know about 2 other lisas it is not a very common name, my parents called me it because they said it is a pure name i hate it when people call me liza! grrrrr" Dec. 14, 2006:

""LIsa" with a "Kay"-adds something different, don't you think?" Nov. 22, 2006:

"I'm named Lisa-Marie but everyone calls me Lisa and up until this year there was no one in my school with name Lisa (im in the fifth year now) Now there seems to be Lisas everywhere. I like my name and prefer it to Lisa-Marie it always sounds like im in trouble when people call me that!" Nov. 15, 2006:

"I didn't use to like my name Lisa, but once I met my husband, I was glad I had it. When he was little he loved the name and named his new cat Lisa. But it turned out to be a male cat, so he got really sad because he had to change the name. But, then we met and got married, so now his parents always say, "He finally got his Lisa." HA!" Oct. 16, 2006:

"my name is lisa and im loving it. every one i no has atleast 3 lisa friends but i am always the fav lisa so its neva bothered me really. all the lisa out there who aint happy with your name change it cause u aint a real LISA xxxxxxxxxxxx" Sep. 25, 2006:

"My name is LIsa and i was born in the early 90s. It's really uncommon now, I've only met one other kid named lisa. There's a zillion moms named lisa though. I LOVE MY NAME!!!" Sep. 12, 2006:

"I love it. My moms name is Lisa. Its elegant and solid." Sep. 9, 2006:

"When I was born (1953), few people knew this name, and many would pronounce it "Liza." Oddly, I suddenly encountered two more Lisas in 7th grade. "Lisa" became the #1 name of the whole 1960s. My last name is third most common, so you can imagine what check-ins are like anywhere . . ." Aug. 31, 2006:

"I was born in 1973 and like my name. My full name is Elizabeth Suzanne, but have always been called "Lisa."" Aug. 12, 2006:

"Lisa Marie - yes my dad was an elvis fan. Growing up I hated it because I always got the "elvis joke" but now that I am married it fits so well Lisa Little awww isn't that cute beside I only know one other Lsia thank goodness" Jun. 23, 2006:

"I love my name-rarely meet another Lisa!!! Occasionally pronounced as Liza which is annoying, but still love my name, even though the catalyst for me being named it was my parents thinking it would be funny because their friend named their daughter mona. ah well, c'est la vie!" Jun. 22, 2006:

"my name's lisa and I'm quite happy with it. Could have been worse and been called sharon or tracey!" Jun. 21, 2006:

"I absolutely love my name! Not many people at my age have Lisa as a name and it's unique! In my opinion it's sweet.." Jun. 12, 2006:

"I love my name. Sweet, simple and easy to spell. :) My mom siad she knew a pretty girl in high school named Lisa who always wore pretty little bracelets. Almost every Lisa I know including me wears bracelets all the time. It's a Lisa trait. :)" May. 27, 2006:

"Lisa is my name. My teacher in the 6th grade said it wrong. Liza. That just got on my nerves. I have never met any one els with the same name as me!" May. 18, 2006:

"my names lisa! i dont mind my name its better than some and its short, easy 2 say and spell!!" Mar. 3, 2006:

"i love my name it is oveosly lucky because i have got a hot new boyfreind lol" Jan. 28, 2006:

"I was born in 1960 and pretty much always had other girls named Lisa in my classes. However, I've always really liked my name. It was my Mom's choice, and one reason she picked it was because it is easy to spell!" Jan. 18, 2006:

"Everyone needs a shortened version of their name. Because, let's face it, our parents will call us by our name when we are misbehaving. That's why Robert becomes Rob and Jonathon becomes Jon and Debra becomes Deb. Well, what does Lisa become? Lis :)(sounds like Lisa without the "a"). I love the name Lis - besides it keeps me from remembering just what a handful I was as a child - "badly raised?" Perhaps ;) (*read above on Bolivian jungle meaning of Lisa)." Jan. 5, 2006:

"Born in 1984, I've only known about 2 other Lisa's and they always seem to be very nice. I love my name, spcially since i was born on the 4th of July and when you put the L and I together in "lisa" It looks like USA, and I always loved seeing my name being celebrated everywhere" Jan. 2, 2006:

"My name is Lisa. There were only 2 Lisa's in my school. It's not a very common, I don't think. So it's good. I like it." Dec. 19, 2005:

"I have always thought that my name was fine until I visited Bolivia. There lisa means "badly raised" in one jungle language. They were scared of me there. I would advise avoiding the Bolivian jungle, or use a different name while you are there." Aug. 12, 2005:

"I was born in the mid-60's and found that until my last job there were never more than 1 or 2 others in my grade/the ones just above or below it or in my work environment. I've always liked it and in Ontario, Canada it is very rare for any one to mis-spell/mis-pronounce it. Easy and pretty!" Aug. 5, 2005:

"lisa lisa lisa short simple and cute i like my name even though i never use to when i was younger,in my country(malta)alot of poeple used to say liza which i did not like but then, hey who cares im LISA" Jul. 10, 2005:

"Lisa is my name, Well my real name is Elizabeth, but this is a great nickname, Sweet and Simple!" Jul. 4, 2005:

"I love my name too always did and wouldn't change it. I never come across that many people with my name I think it was a popular name in the 1960's (when I was born) & 1970's but not so much now as people like unusual names which no one knows how to pronounce???" Jun. 19, 2005:

"I'm a 1960 Lisa and since I can remember, I have always hated my name. There were always half a dozen Lisas in my classes. It was boring and dull. People never seem to remember my name either, which is weird since it is so common and simple." Sep. 3, 2019:

"Born in 1961, and everywhere I went as a kid, there were always at least 3 other Lisas there. In my 7th grade class of 35 kids, there were 6 other Lisas. I don't even look up when my name is called because it has always been statistically unlikely the person is talking to me. I have always thought of the name as the most common, dreary name possible. Gonna change it one of these days!" Mar. 26, 2017:

"When I got saddled with the name, it was still considered a nick name. Half a name. Not a REAL name. A little kid's name. I still dislike it, and wish I'd gotten a real, grown-person-suitable name for signing legal documents and such. Something dignified, instead of a little kid's diminutive. To me, getting the name Lisa is as bad as naming a boy Mike or Bob. Of course, people today don't seem to realize that's dumb to do, either." Jan. 13, 2016:

"Every Lisa I have ever known has been a self-centered witch... (like every Jennifer I've known has been an egotistical know-it-all)." Jan. 2, 2010:

"my name is lisa marie and i HATE IT!!! in elementary school there was a lisa in my class and as the years went on i had to hear nothing but lisa marie presley, lisa marie presley. now i am not saying there is nothing wrong with lisa marie presley but growing up and getting teased about having the same name (lisa marie) is bad enough. my mom wanted to orignally name me desire and i wish she had." Dec. 24, 2009:

"So many Lisa's.. and my surname was Jones.. how common can you get..lol" Jul. 26, 2009:

"My name is Lisa Lynn and it is such a mundane name. If I remember right I am named after that my song "My name is not Lisa". Enough said." Nov. 2, 2008:

"Anooother Lisa Marie here. As if I wasn't sick of it already..after reading about all the other Lisa Marie's on here now I really see how unorigional it is." Apr. 25, 2008:

"I hate the name Lisa. I have the name Lisa and it just sounds so manly with my surname. Blerugh, why did my parents curse me?" Nov. 16, 2007:

"Natural parents named me Lisa Anne and adopted parents always called me that and sometimes Lee. They also dropped the "e" in the spelling of Anne. In high school I was called Lee or Lise. Adopted parents hated that!! I would always hear them say, "We named you Lisa Ann". There are too many Lisa's (even a sister-in-law) and I am not a fan of the name. However, I do like LisaAnn and I also spell the two names together. Even though I introduce myself as "LisaAnn" spell it that way, people will always say, hi,"Lisa". I hate it and always correct them and reply, is it too difficult to say "LisaAnn"?" Aug. 24, 2007:

"I hate my name. It's Lisa-Rose and the Lisa ruins it for me. Its too masculine I think and its so annoying when my teachers call me Liza" Dec. 31, 2006:

"Well my name isn't Lisa but in my class FIVE people are. it just seems boring to me, but that's just me." Dec. 16, 2006:

"I think my name is too plain and simple. It really annoys me. I wish I had been named Elisabeth or something, so at least Lisa wasn't my only name." Oct. 14, 2006:

"I was born in 1969...the year after Lisa Marie Presley...so hence, my name... Lisa Marie. Mom was a HUGE fan of Elvis'. I've always hated the name...mostly because I can't picture me in being a Grandmother with the name Lisa...that and I can't stand the fact that I am named after Elvis' daughter." Mar. 4, 2006:

"I was born in 1971 in WI. I was always know as 'Lisa W' because there were several girls by the same name. I couldn't even go by 'Lisa Ann' because at least three heads would turn. I have never liked my name because of how common it was and I always considered it a good name for a cow." Aug. 9, 2005:

"Iam Lisa June. Any other Lisa June's out there? I have grown to love my name but there were so many other Lisa's in the 60's; my last name was Johnson and there were a ton of Lisa Johnsons....." Sep. 6, 2021:

"My daughter is 19 and named Lisa. I named her after my mom and mother in law, who are both Elisabeth. It?s short, feminine, and simple. I love it" Apr. 4, 2021:

"Hi I'm Lisa Jane I love Lisa it's so soft feminine and pretty.I drives me mad!! when it's pronounced LIZA or LEEZER.Cant people recognise the difference between an S and a Z?" Dec. 5, 2019:

"My name is also Lisa. I was born in 67 and it was just too popular of a name. I went to private school where we stayed with the same group of 45 kids from 1st through 8th grade - there were 6 of us named Lisa! Just as I was starting to like my name alright, I found out that my grandfather had a previous affair with...a Lisa!!! My grandmother hated me, as if it were my fault! To add misery to my name, fast forward many years, my husband has a ?Mid-life? crisis affair. The ho?s name? LISA!!!" Feb. 23, 2019:

"I?m Lisa Maria. NOT Marie. MARIA! LOL! There are so many Lisa?s residing in my area in PA! I can name 20 to whom I?m acquainted. I like the way my Italian name flows. I never really felt like another name other than Lisa since I have a cool last name! Two of my close friends are Lisa?s and people would ask to see our ID?s because they thought we were lying. I told them that we would?ve chosen a cooler name to lie about other than Lisa!" Feb. 5, 2019:

"My daughter's name is Lisa Marie and she's 4 months old, I honestly don't really like it but my boyfriend lost his mom the same year we conceived her. So he wanted Lisa Marie and I was ok with it because we agreed we'd name our daughter this If we ever had children. Well I guess I spoke to soon as we had fallen pregnant 5 months later. I was going to name her Aroura and I will probably name my next daughter that IF we have another lol but I have a really hard time calling her Lisa as I'm not a huge fan of it so I'm trying to fine cute nicknames for her but it's so hard!" Oct. 22, 2017:

"I am a Lisa from 1962. My parents thought they were being very original and named me for an Italian opera singer named Lisa Della Casa. When I started school however there were dozens of us. I have always loved my name however. I think back then Lisa's were considered pretty and popular." Mar. 20, 2015:

"I was born 80 days after Lisa Marie and I hated my name growing up, when the teacher called on Lisa, half the class answered. When I was 8 yrs. old I saw my neighbors name at our lake home was Lissa and I started writing it that way and made it legal later. Now I love my name, it is me." Oct. 4, 2014:

"My name is lisa i was named after elvis presleys daughter i dont know any other girl called lisa expcept from like 50 year old women :/ but i suppose im unique lol" Jun. 26, 2014:

"I am a Lisa Marie born in 1979. Never really liked the name because I felt it was too short, not unique, no good nicknames, no cool meaning (hostname books said 'see Elizabeth'. No, my name is NOT Elizabeth, lazy book writers! I would've preferred to be named Lisa Marie as my first name, which I was called in 3rd grade since there were too of us. I can say that school was as inundated with Lisas like it was with Melissas, Saras, Jennifers, and Jessicas, but I was jealous of friends with unique names like Patience, Amara, Serena, Darcy, Maija. I was surprised living in the area just south of San Francisco (where the electric koolaid acid tests were being conducted) that there weren't more far out names. Oh well, I don't mind Lisa a much these days." Nov. 6, 2013:

"Lisa,Through my shamanic praitcce mentor Julie Kramer to her teacher Sandra Ingerman I arrived here in the middle of your posted gorgeous life so revealingly expressed. Thank you for this fertile oasis your willingness and efforts to share all this makes me cry, laugh, sing, gasp with delight, and zero in with greater purpose on my own wondrous life. I came to the mountains of SW Virginia to finally awake to who I've been all along, and although It wouldn't matter to me one bit where you were when it comes to the gift of your dream stories, it feels so good to me nonetheless to think of you within that spitting distance as my own dreaming usually breathes me in such solitude here. Thank you for stepping so fully into your own nature. It is exquisite. Beth Abernathy" Jun. 17, 2013:

"Helo, my name is lisa sydney okoh, dis name was given to me by mom, after watching the popular movie "coming to america". I love my name, though somtimes it's wrongly pronouced in my community." Jan. 22, 2013:

"I was born in 64 and my name is Lisa Lynn. Beats the alternative. They were going to name me Misty Dawn. Met many growing up, few as an adult. No one misspells it or pronounce's it wrong. My nickname growing up by my Dad was Skinny Lenny. Not anymore, mainly because it doesn't apply today, lol." Sep. 30, 2012:

"My daughter s name is Lisa Jessica, I looooovee this name. It really fits with my Lisa, she s beautiful, smart and has a pure heart.. love u my princess...muah" Dec. 3, 2011:

"My daughter is Lisa Jessica, she was born in 1997! I liked the name lisa, because it's a short name and I think it s a beautiful name." Sep. 11, 2011:

"I am one of the many Lisa's from the 1970's....but I have an unusual middle name..Lisa Noelle...as a child I wanted to be called L. Noelle, but it never took...now in my late 30's I am the only Lisa in my group of friends, so I appreciate it!" Aug. 27, 2011:

"Hi my name is Lisa Anne-Marie and I was born in the mid 60's - I like my name but I didnt like my name being as common as it was when I was at school - now days in my 40's I rarely come across another Lisa. I got called Lisa after my mother who is Elizabeth she had an Italian pen freind who like to call my mother Lisa. My sisters and friends always shorten my name to Lee or Lis which is no surprize being London and my husband calls me lisee lol. My mother said when she called me Lisa she knew of no other babies who were called Lisa until Lisa Presley was born and then there were Lisa's popping up everywhere lol. Still I think I suit Lisa, couldnt imagine being called anything eles and think it will be quite cool in 30 years time there will be tons of old ladies called Lisa instead of iris or gladis - whats strange is I became a grandma earlier this year for the first time and it seems my daughters generation (80's) are calling their children after flowers my granddaughter is called Lily haha :D" Aug. 12, 2011:

"I'm a Lisa Ann and more often than not, I run into other Lisas with the same middle name...I thought it was some 60's conspiracy that we were all named Lisa Ann!" Jun. 13, 2011:

"My name's Lisa and I'm 12. I've never met a Lisa that's the same age as me in my school. I like how no one ever misspells my name. Sometimes i wish that there was another Lisa in my grade. We could become friends and share stuff together." Jan. 17, 2011:

"My mothers name is Mona Lisa and she was born in 1950. She was named after the popular song "Mona Lisa" by Nat King Cole. He was my grandmothers favorite musician. She loved him so much she named one of her daughters after his song! Lol" Nov. 6, 2010:

"My name is Lisa, and my middle name is Mary. My sister was 7 years old when I was born and nagged my mother silly to let her name me. She named me Lisa after Lisa on the american show 'Green Acres'. Every time I tell someone that story they laugh:)" Sep. 28, 2010:

"My names Lisa and I've always thought it was boring and unoriginal. Elizabeth always sounded more appealing to me. Strangely, people often spell the name wrong thinking I said Something else like "meesa" or "teresa" probably just because it's short and i say it fast" Sep. 22, 2010:

"My name is Lisa Catherine, most expect my middle name to be Marie. I like my name but in school there were 5 of us girls who hung together. 4 Lisa's and 1 Kathy. But now looking back it was pretty cool." Sep. 16, 2010:

"I'm an old Lisa born in 1954. All the cool girls were named Kathy or Debbie. My middle name is Anne and I decided not to used my maiden name as a middle initial because I figured everyone would assume I was a Lisa Marie. I don't really like the name Lisa. I don't like the sound of it but I LOVE it written, especially in cursive. My Italian grandmother called me LEEZA and I hated that! But loved switching the Liza Minelli song, Liza with a Z----see, that tells you HOW old I am! Lisas---learn the Lisa with an S song! : )" Sep. 10, 2010:

"I was also named Lisa after the character in As the World Turns! My mom says that's the reason there were so many Lisa's in the 60's!" Sep. 3, 2010:

"I'm Lisa Michelle too! Actually named after (to a degree the other Lisa M - tho my mother wouldn't allow the Marie bit so a compromise was made. I don't see it as old either. 3rd most popular girls name the year I was born apparently ('72) I just can't stand it being shortened to Lis, Lise or Leece or anything like that. Also hate being called Leeza or Liza....my name is Lisa for christs sake!" Aug. 22, 2010:

"It's rather too common, and very much unlike me. It may SOUND pretty, but the only reason I was given this name is because the names my parents really liked were already taken by others in their inner circle, and they couldn't think of anything else... so they just named me Lisa.." Aug. 8, 2010:

"My name is Lisa Rose. Im 14 and in 9th grade. For me I think I happen to be the only lisa that went to my elementary school and middle school. Its not very common around here. Sometimes i wish i had a longer name because my whole entire name consists of 11 letters. Its verty short but i guess it makes me unique:D" Jun. 10, 2010:

"I have always found any woman with the name Lisa was bad luck for me. usually vicious and rude. I'm not talking as a girl friend, I'm talking just as a person in a store or a coworker or classmate back in school, its a nasty name and I avoid it like Jens, Melissa and Tessa. show me any of those names and I'm out of there." Jun. 5, 2010:

"I'm a 16 year old Lisa, and I've never met anyone close to my age with my name. I don't mind, it makes me unique I guess. I'm a Christian and a nerd, so both the meaning and the connotations fit well for me. :)" Jun. 4, 2010:

"hey, my name is lisa and I absolutely adore it! it sounds happy en sweet I think. I haven't met many people with the same name but maybe it just isn't that commom in the netherlands." Jun. 3, 2010:

"My name is Lisa Dawn. My mother decided to name me Lisa instead of Lucille (after my grandmother) Thank God! My mother also said she got the name off of the soap opera "As the World Turns" I think. One of the leading ladies (mean, conniving character) was named Lisa. I think she just liked the soundof it. I like my name now but I was one of several Lisas in elementary school. One year our teacher make us Lisa A and Lisa B. I hated that. I love my name and I like it when I meet someone else name Lisa. It is a derivative of Elisabeth - which has a beautiful, bibilical meaning." May. 8, 2010:

"I'm a Lisa Marie, and hated it in grade school. There were always several girls named "Lisa Marie" in my class. These days, I don't find too many other women named Lisa, so I guess it was a fad name...and it's true, I haven't met any young girls named Lisa either." Apr. 28, 2010:

"Ouch!!!Lisa is an "old" person name!?! I guess I really am old!!?(born in '58).n Im Lisa Lynn, and I've always loved the sound of those together..really symmetrical and lyrical, like a natural pairing." Jan. 31, 2010:

"my name is Lisa Marie im 15 and I love it would hate to be called anything else Lisa Marie in Ireland" Jan. 26, 2010:

"I'm Lisa Michelle. Always saying the "M" doesn't stand for Marie. (I'm a year or two older than her.) My name is mundane, but okay. Once, in college, there were girls in my class named Leisa, Lissa, and Leesa. That was interesting." Jan. 9, 2010:

"Growing up I liked my name, because it's not so common for my age. I liked not having to go by a last initial in school (I was born in 1982). Now that I'm in the working world, I have clients that are 15-20 years older than me, and Lisa is quite common among them. So now I feel like I have an old person name, and relate it more to Linda. I didn't think that way until the last few years." Dec. 19, 2009:

"if you are thinking of naming you child lisa please DO NOT. I'm 16 and i really hate it, its considered an old person name and its not interesting whatsoever. For a 45 year old its acceptable but not for someone born in the last 15 years. Also there are like no nicknames. Of course my friends love to call me Lasienaga (a girl from the catoon the Proud family) or Las for short.so think about that." Nov. 25, 2009:

"its okay...not the best name but its ok..i know to many people named Lisa." Jan. 24, 2009:

"My mom was named Eileen, and she always hated having a name that can be mis-spelled 18 ways, so she knew that she wanted to give me a pretty simple, and let's face it, generic name. When she and my father couldn't agree on anything, they thought "let's just copy elvis and go with lisa marie." it's treated me well and all, but i wish i had an unusual name that were a little more definitive of my personality.. which is totally unique!" Dec. 18, 2008:

"My name is just Lisa. I come from Germany. Often I am called Lischen (Spoken: Lees-hin)also by some of my teachers. I hate it but if they just say Lisa, it's ok for me. (Sorry for my horrible english)" Oct. 3, 2008:

I did not mind others sharing my name and to this day have not met a "Lisa" I did not like! I have not met a single child born in the 70's, 80's, 90's or current decade with the name Lisa. Would love to see a comeback of classic names. I feel sorry for children with made up names, intentionally misspelled or impossible to pronounce names, and those named after luxury cars (Lexus ect), precious metals/stones,(Diamond),liquors (Brandy) and those named after famous/infamous folks..I actually know of children named Frank and Jesse James! Let's bring back Debbie, Kathy, Cindy, Jean, Ginger, Susan, Mary, Shirley, Louise, Linda, Laura, Darla, ......!" Jun. 1, 2007:

"my name is Lisa and i kinda like it at times but i kinda hate it too. sometimes i like that it is short and people know how to spell it, but at times i wish it was longer so i could have a nickname other then "Lis" i guess no one ever pronounces it wrong, and where i live it isnt so common, so maybe its not that bad. nice to know some people like it! :D" Apr. 17, 2007:

Two the same age as me and the other my aunts best friend, born in the early 70's. I met two more Lisa's at college and i have never disliked a Lisa and I have always been a fan of the name, no particular reason why I guess maybe because it is my name and my older brother picked it for me. I mean it's not that common of a name like kate or jen i feel as if i meet five a day. I think it sounds nice also.. Liiiiiissaaaaaaaaa, yep I like it." Mar. 7, 2007:

"Again, another Lisa (b. 1974), I have never been in a class or work setting where there wasn't another Lisa. You just get use to it. Hated it when I was young because I was 5'7" but the time I was 12 so I was alway "Big Lis" At least everyone knows how to spell it." Feb. 14, 2007:

"Born in early 1960, in Southern Ontario, Canada. My mom named me Lisa Marie(baptised name) because she liked it and had hardly ever heard anyone else called Lisa. Well over the years I've meet and worked with only a couple of other lisa's. I do think the name is somewhat boring though but it's mine! I It always sounds to me like the name of a young person and for some reason,I can't picture being old with the name. It is easy to spot against other names. OH YA,I HATE the song "my name's not Lisa"" May. 22, 2006:

I've heard that's because of two things: the movie 'David and Lisa' came out in the sixties, and 'Lisa' was a very popular character in the soap 'As the World Turns.' I always notice when the name Lisa is used in a song or a movie. My fave Lisa use is Grace Kelly's character in 'Rear Window.'" Mar. 2, 2006:

"I was born in 1961 and there were always at least three Lisa's in my class. In fact, when I was a little kid, I thought that the names John and Lisa were names that 1. Either the government gave you when parents were too lame to come up with a good name or 2. Names of foundlings. (My parents tole me they found me under a rock.) So I brought home a lot of foundling animals and named them John and Lisa. I've never had a job where there wasn't another Lisa. Even when I went to a school where there were only eight women - one of them was another Lisa! So I changed my name to Lee. Now I don't identify with the name at all. It was" Jul. 29, 2005:

"I was born in 1974 and Lisa in my area was very common growing up. There were always other Lisa's in my classes. The name isn't bad, I just felt like it wasn't unique although maybe it's just my area?" Jun. 22, 2005:
