Oooh LOVING Lizzie (Flora has already been vetoed by my dh Angry because of the margarine)

But could it just be Lizzie on the BC as I would not want Elizabeth as I have a ds called Eli!

Dottie as in Dorothy.

My grandmothers given name was Lizzie and is on her birth certificate. She hated it and always called herself Elizabeth as she felt it was grander Grin.

I really like Lizzie too.
