  4. I feel like The name “Lisa” comes with greatness love , leadership it’s like wherever you go you radiate positivity.

  5. I love my name Lisa, I was born in 1970 and I have my name tattooed on the right side of my chest with cherry blossoms?

  6. I really like my name Lisa! I was born in 1967 and apparently it was a very popular name in the 60’s. Approximately 70% of the time when I am around people that are close in age to me there are 2 or more Lisa’s. The preschool I am employed at currently has 2 employees name Lisa, myself included. At one point there were 4 teachers with the name Lisa. I don’t know if I am bias but typically Lisa’s are generally very nice and caring people with beauty features that are considered I pretty by society. ( At least the Lisa’s I know :). I have taught for 21 years and have never had a student named Lisa. It is definitely not the popular name like it was in the 60’s.

    • Hello Lisa

      Yes, my name is Lisa as well and yes I agree that it was very popular in the sixties and according to a graph showing the name’s’ popularity, it was at its height of popularity in 1964 and yes, that’s the year I was born. Now however, the name is very rare with only a few of us left over from that era. So yes, I’m happy with my name although I wasn’t as I was growing up but I’ve grown into it and I love the fact that it’s now something of an anomaly to be called Lisa.

      Take care Lisa

      Lisa Lynn Devlin

    • I’m born in the later 2008 love being called Lisa alought everyone always thinks I’m older when people talk about me. I love the name it’s common but it’s not I’ve never meat anyone near my age with the same name.
