Greteliese

A playful compound name, blending two German diminutive names, Greteliese is a whimsy mix of Grete and Liese, which ultimately derive from Margaret and Elisabeth. As such, it can be interpreted to mean "a pearl pledged to God" and could even be used as a nickname for a baby with the classic combination of Margaret Elizabeth.

As a standalone, it is a rare choice, but with the familiarity of Greta and Anneliese, it doesn't sound too out there. Gretelise is another spelling, notably borne by writer and journalist, Gretelise Holm.

Pronounced gruh-tuh-LEEZ-uh.
