any polish speakers on MN that can help with shortening a name?

[StuckOnARollercoaster]

I would normally ask my mum but we want our baby name to be a surprise when announced - not up for discussion beforehand!

Boys names are sorted - Sebastian which can be shortened to Seb by English family and Sebek by my Polish side.

Girls is a little harder - currently favouring Elizabeth/Beth which I know is Elzbieta in Polish. I know most names can be shortened/softened but for the life can't think of what the 'soft' version of Elzbieta is, can anyone help me out?

I don't think I'd like to use Elzbieta - it sounds a bit too formal, but if there is a softer name then I may go for it... Otherwise its back to the drawing board for a girls name!!!

thanks

I really like Elzbieta left as is. My friend Elzbieta also goes by Elli.

Of course Ela! Thanks...
That would work for me and names are now sorted!
Seb or Beth, and Sebek or Ela
(at least for next few weeks until I change my mind again... Originally girls name was going to be Daisy till I decided it was too 'cute' for an adult which she would eventually become!!!)
