Lettice

As outdated as it is, prepare for the occasional "Number 15: Burger King Foot Lettuce" jokes to reach your dear Lettice.

Great sibling for Tomato, Cucumber, or Ranch.

To be honest I'm just glad it's not actually based on the vegetable, so its only upwards from here. I think it's kinda pretty, but it's very cartoony-sounding (Unless pronounced like La-tEs/Le-tEs or something) and probably better suited for a middle name if anything.

I'm saying it as Luh-TEES. It sounds great that way. But unfortunately when you see its written form, it's one letter short of Lettuce. Lateece might be a better spelling, play with the spelling to get the same sound.

I love this name

id name my kid after a vegetable,tbh

Really? She was a character created by a cartoonist!

This is my name, ive always recieved praise for it. People say my parents are daring, especially considering my middle name is Leefe but it was the 60s! My parents were apart of the hippie movement and my name wasn't as unusal as some of the kids I knew!

Lettice is cute, but no thanks as a given name.

Lettuce get right into this cooking show.

Lettuce

One of the better names to give your child if you were going to name your child after your cravings during your pregnancy.

I love this name. Which is why I'm really happy I don't live in an English speaking country.... I'm just such a big fan of Cassia Lettice. But we'll see, there's luckily still time to decide.

Too much like lettuce. I can't get on board.

Lettice is the name of a second cousin in England I believe, although I've only ever had postal correspondence with her. I like it, and although I'd not give it to any future child of mine as a given name (please bear in mind I only just turned fourteen) I might bestow it is a middle name.

This does sound pretty, but it's true that I have trouble getting past the "lettuce" association unfortunately... and it would be constantly mispronounced. Lettie is an adorable nickname, but I'd probably use Letitia instead of Lettice.

Dainty and delicate. I love it, and they are naming people Kale these days.

Oh, I can't stop loving this name. It's so delightful. I suppose it's what you would call a guilty pleasure.

agree

I think it's also just simply the connection between the two, which I can't really blame them for, but I agree that it is a pretty name.

I agree with you.

Lettice...pretty, salad or otherwise.

I hate how much negative feedback Lettice gets, it's truly beautiful. I get the feeling people who dismiss this immediately just can't spell (and see lettuce).

heck no...

I love this name, even though I'm a person who'd usually never consider a name with a meaning tied to 'happiness' in fear of making it over the top forcefull. The "salad-connection" is just pure adorable ~
