Liselotte is my sister's middle name, a family name from the
German side of our family. We pronounce it lee-zuh-LOT-tuh ('lot' as in 'a lot'). I think it's a beautiful name, and probably would be fine on an English girl. The only complications would likely be that people might have a hard time with the pronunciation, as the ending looks like the common
Charlotte but is said differently. I love this name, though, and I'd like to see it gain popularity. It has a lot of cute nicknames too.

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS

Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
