a little bit too much for me. ;)just for clarification:-Heidi is a traditional Swiss name and the title of a book by Johanna Spyri, Switzerland's most famous children's book author.
-Liesl on the other hand is a short form of Elisabeth and it is/was mostly used in Germany.
-"Lederhosen": They were worn by men of the Alpine and surrounding regions, including Austria, the highlands and mountains of Southern Germany (Bavaria) and the German-speaking part of Italy known as South Tyrol, but not in Switzerland.
Today they are a traditional form of clothing worn only to folk festivals.

A little too Alps themed (?) to meI like both names, but they remind me of Heidi (the book/movie) and the Sound of Music, so unless you plan on dressing them in lederhosen . . .

Totally Agree.Unless your last name is Von Trapp (and if it is, what an honor!), I suggest picking one or the other and finding another name to go with it. Both names are pretty on their own, and totally underused.

A bit too much.I picture two rosy-cheeked little girls with ringlets skipping arm-in-arm with baskets of flowers or something. Together they're idyllic in a cheesy sort of way. To me they're two little storybook names that are sort of a saccharine overload together.

Kind of cute. I don't really like Liesl though, Heidi is nice. They go well together.

If they ever came to Germany they would be laughed at so much...
Heidi is very uncommon in younger generations ans Liesl is hardly ever used at all. Only as a nn for Lisa when someone is making fun of the person.
I don't even like the names on their own... sorry!

I'm not fan for Heidi and Liesl separately, but they match much more nicely than I could have imagined!Mom to Olivia Megan & Aunt to Joseph, Michelle, Erica and EddieLilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

I'm not crazy about Heidi but I do like Liesl, and they match very nicely, I think, without being too cutesy together. So if you like both, then I think they make a great pair.

I love the name Heidi. Just one of my faves that won't go away. But Liesl with it is a bit much.

Very, um, Swiss. Separately they're fine and pretty, but together it makes me think someone wanted to make a musical combining Heidi and The Sound of Music but settled for naming their twin daughters Heidi and Liesl instead :P

Swiss, perhaps, but I automatically think Austrian or German

All three speak German . . .. . . so there's not much difference really.I can understand thinking German or Austrian for Liesl, but the most famous literary Heidi is Swiss.

I think it's cute but to pull it off but would require some ethnic ancestry. Are they Swedish?
