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!

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.
