The TikTok creator posted a video to expose how others say her moniker.

Her mother gave her the name: Liesbeth. This is the German version of Elizabeth.

“I honestly don’t even know how it’s really supposed to be pronounced,” Liesbeth (@liesbethvigil) admitted.

“I’m not German. I’m Hispanic.”

She’s not sure whether it should be “Lease-beth” or “Lays-beth,” but to her, the name is spoken as “Liz-beth.”

People just meeting her tend to come out with different versions.

“I’ve gotten everything from ‘Lies-beth,’ ‘Elizabeth,’ ‘Beth,’ ‘Elisabeth,'” Liesbeth said.

“Like some people just skip the spelling altogether.”

Not only do people mispronounce her name, but they also misspell it too.

Others doubt the moniker would be spelled “Liesbeth,” so they spell out how it sounds in their head.

Despite the constant confusion, Liesbeth wouldn’t want to have any other name.

She loves how unique her moniker is, but she does have one disappointment.

“I’ll never find a souvenir with my name on it,” Liesbeth admitted.

Viewers found Liesbeth’s honesty refreshing and amusing.

One fan wrote: “The fact that you don’t know how it’s pronounced makes it funnier.”

Another follower admitted she had a similar name and a similar issue.

“Tell me why my name is Arisbeth, and most people never get it correct either,” she commented.

“I love that. So pretty,” Liesbeth responded.
