Help[Opinions] Re: Your thoughts on German name for english girl
in reply to a message by Red Robin
I think it's maybe a little old-fashioned looking but pretty. I don't know how it'd sound in the UK.
I'm American, and I'd say it the German way because Liesel is obviously German...I don't speak German, but German names are familiar enough that the end doesn't read like "ee" to me.
In English, it looks like Charlotte, so the ending would probably be said with a silent E: Lee-zul-lawt, with the vowel in the 2nd syllable being a schaw.
