My aunt knew a person who changed her name (legally) from Lisa to Lise, pronounced the same. So I think of it as a variant of Lisa.

Marie Lise was my birth name. Am from Montmagny, Quebec but have been in Ontario since I was 5 years old. I don't like Lise. I now go by Lisa. Lise, Lisa, Lee are all taken out of the name Elisabeth/Elizabeth. Most school friends call me Lee as there was another Lisa and a Lise also, so I just went by Lee. Yes, we all had the same last initial.

I've loved this name ever since I heard the French song "Lise" by Emilie Simon. It goes:
Lise prend des airs
Qui déstabilisent
Les valises de Lise
Sont pleines d'air
Lise sounds so sweet and beautiful. Reminds me of Elise, another name I love, but I prefer Lise to Elise. Lise is adorable. :)

Lise is neat, but the variation Liseia is even better. I've only heard that name one time in my life before. And loved it ever since. Liseia (liss-SAY-yah); beautiful!

There is this Danish childrens' song "Little Lise, little Lise got a red, red hat." This name reminds me of dolls. In Denmark we say "Doll Lise".

I would assume a Lise was Norwegian or Danish (not English). I've always considered Lise the Norwegian and Danish form of Lisa. [noted -ed]

This is not common in Sweden, more so in Denmark I think. I think it sounds much nicer for Elisabeth than Lisa. [noted -ed]
