Sweet but sleek, and distinctive, Liesl is an old German nickname-name for Elisabeth. It might have once seemed inextricably tied to to its country of origin, but now, like Elsa, Enzo, Saoirse, Freya, Soren, and Heidi, it leans more towards being international and European chic. 

 Many people associate the name with Liesl von Trapp, the eldest daughter in The Sound of Music, who is "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", as her song famously says. Also spelled Liesel, it might additionally be associated with the popular novel, The Book Thief.

Freda, along with near-identical twin sisters Frida and Frieda, has not been popular in the US for decades. After the two world wars, German names fell out of favor in the US and UK. The similar-sounding but etymologically unrelated mythological name Freya is much more popular, not only in the US and the UK but throughout the English-speaking world, in Germany and Scandinavia.
