[Opinions] Letty, Lettice, Leticia, Lisette
What do you think of these names?
They’re all on my PNL. I’ve really been enjoying Letty lately.
I find Lettice and Lisette work well in the middle name spot for many names.

Letty - This is a nice nickname. I wouldn't want to have it as my full name.
Lettice - Looks and sounds like "lettuce."
Leticia - Kind of harsh to my ears, but not terrible.
Lisette - Pretty, but I have a peeve about nicknames as full names.

I read a historical fiction series about Tudor history once upon a time (I can't remember exactly what, maybe an Ann Rinaldi series?) and there was a character named Lettice. She was a true-to-life historical figure, but my first encounter was as a fictionalized version.
I remember spending the whole of the series convinced that the poor girl had been named after Lettuce. I'm pretty sure I even included it in a book report: "Can you imagine being a royal figure and being named after lettuce?"
Anyway, while I know that's not technically correct, I still think a girl named Lettice would have to deal with that all her life.
Letty as a given name is a non-starter for me, and not all that great as a nickname.
Lisette is alright.
I tend to prefer Letitia to Leticia, but I actually think it's quite pretty.
