Lisa is a name I've always enjoyed. While it started out as a nickname, I've only known one person, a former coworker, who used Lisa as a nickname--and it was for Elizabeth (and I'd known her for a couple months before learning this). Otherwise (to my knowledge), all the Lisas I've met--across age groups--has had Lisa as their legal name. In this respect, it has gone the way of Molly, Sadie, Sally, etc., as a diminutive that's now its own unique name.

Lisa has become "dated" and basically a "Mom name," but I've met a couple in my generation (though one of them was the coworker who was "really" Elizabeth). Again, I've always liked Lisa. It's a warm and inviting name, pretty without being fussy. If short-and-sweet ever become the trend that surpasses "princess names" (Isabella, Olivia & Company), I'd like to see Lisa make a comeback.
