Lise is a female first name.
Recently, the name Lise has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Lise. That means that a girl named Lise is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lise.
Is the name Lise a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 144 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1956 – at that time, it ranked #776. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Lise is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their child this unusual name. So, if your name is Lise, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lise was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Lise are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Lise in 20 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana or Kansas. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Lise live in New Hampshire – here, one in 6,917 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 133,483 will turn around if you call her first name Lise.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With four letters, the name Lise is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with an L, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which girls' name with L is the most common... the answer is Linda.
If your name is Lise and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Lise, you can simply say:
Lion
Igloo
Sun
Elephant
