Liesel / Liesl is lovely, in my opinion. I think Helton is ugly, though.

I am sixteen, going on seventeen...

I like Liesel (Liesl is a nicer spelling), but I'm guilty of singing that song whenever I hear the name.

---

However, Helton is an absolute abomination. Can your sister please find another baseball player to name her kid after?

Liesel fortunately reminds me of The Sound of Music before it reminds me of diesel, so it's okay.

---

Helton is a really bad name. It begins with "hell" and the -ton part isn't very flattering either.

I only like the spelling Liesl and prefer it as a nickname for Elisabeth.

---

Liesel looks like Diesel.

I like Liesel, but it IS a little too precious. I don't know, I'm going back and forth with this one.

---

Helton is terrible, but at least she would stick it in the middle name spot. That's not so bad.

I think Liesel [spelt Liesl] is adorable. Helton, however, I find hideous.

prefer Liesl

It's... really comedic. It's just an outdated diminutive, not a real name, and someone having this as a full name seems weird to me. I don't like Helton either. It sounds exactly like what it is: a surname. Ryan Helton doesn't flow well at all because they both end with the same sound.

My dad wanted to name me Liesel. :) I think it's unattractive unfortunately. Kind of sounds like "diesel".

Helton is ugly too. HELL-ton. At least your sister only wants to use it as a mn.

I love Liesel. Helton however...not so much. Why not Todd, which I don't like either, but I think it's better than Helton. I wonder why so many people choose to honor famous people with their last names and not their first.
