Dear Swistle,<\/p>\n

First, I must tell you how much I love your blog. I recently had a baby and find myself reading the archives during those middle of the night feedings, sometimes long after baby has fallen back asleep.<\/p>\n

I’m writing because I’m curious about a particular name I couldn’t even get my husband to consider for our daughter. I am a huge The Sound of Music fan and have always loved the names, particularly Liesl. My husband thinks it’s atrocious. I think it’s beautiful. I’ve never come across the name on your site and was curious what you and your readers thought. Is everyone with my husband on this one and that’s why we never hear it?<\/p>\n

We had such a difficult time naming our daughter, I thought I’d get a head start on the next one, and maybe you could help me convince my husband it’s not such a terrible name. Looking forward to your thoughts!<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I started by searching for the name on the blog, and found four posts that mention Liesl:<\/p>\n

Baby Names from The Sound of Music<\/a>
\nBaby Girl Aronoff<\/a>
\nBaby Girl Korph<\/a>
\nBaby Girl L_____<\/a><\/p>\n

I went through the comments quickly, and saw several positive remarks and several negative. The negatives were:<\/p>\n

1. sounds like diesel
\n2. sounds like lethal when said in child’s lispy voice
\n3. hard to spell
\n4. husband doesn’t like it<\/p>\n

“Sounds like diesel” was the main reason Paul and I crossed it off our list, but we also considered the style to be an outlier for us.<\/p>\n

Let’s have a poll to see what everyone else thinks. I always have trouble choosing poll options: no matter what I choose, it doesn’t really cover everything. So let’s use the poll to get a rough distribution of feeling, and then we can use the comments section for more specific opinions.<\/p>\n
