Nn for Elizabeth

[EleanorXx]

Me and DP have decided on the name Elizabeth for dd, its a family name and we would like to give her a nickname to make it more personal to her. I like Eliza and Libby, DP likes Elsie, any more ideas?

[Rhynswynd]

I have chosen Elizabeth too.
Nicknames could be
Lizzie
Betsy
Lilibet (like the Queen)
Beth

[Orangebird69]

Lily
Beth
Betty
Lisa/Liza

[KnitFastDieWarm]

My friend's DD is Elizabeth, known as Bess. It really suits her

[ilovepixie]

Bets
Izzy
Liz

[pallisers]

I love Eliza

I don't like nicknames that start with a different letter than the actual name but accept that this is personal.

I think using the full name Elizabeth will probably be more unusual than any nickname though. It is a lovely name.

Beth
Betsy
Ellie.
Liza
Zabby.
Libbit

Bibby.
Bibbin.

[SuperBeagle]

I'm an Elizabeth. Most will assume her nickname is Liz or Lizzy and will proceed to call her that.

Elsie is now accepted as a standalone name, so I don't think many people would be receptive to that as a shortening for Elizabeth. The same goes for Lily and Ella and other traditional shortenings of the name.

I love Libby as a nickname.

I know a little Zibby, but love Libby !

Nicknames tend to evolve really.
Elizabeth is beautiful I would not shorten it personally

[Kim82]

My friend is called Elizabeth and goes by the nickname Lil.

[Glumglowworm]

Elizabeth known as Libby is one of my all time favourite names

[EleanorXx]

I love Lisa! We considered Ella/Ellie for a nn but decided it was far to close to my name. Beth and Betsy are also lovely.

[Bicnod]

My DD is Elizabeth and she is known as Beth (or Bethy Boo, or busy Beth, or Bethy boodle dandy doodle).

I’m an Elizabeth who had never used a nickname...and yet everyone calls me Liz.
It’s just such a standard nickname, it can be hard to get anything else to stick. I don’t bother correcting people though because I can’t stand either name so it doesn’t really matter to me what I end up called!

[BeyondThePage]

Beth, but don't read Little Women...

DD15 has a friend who USED to be Libby, but now wants Elizabeth because it sounds more "grown-up"

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Ds2 would have been Elizabeth nn Libby and if it helps I haven't gone off it 19 years later, still love it. (Have gone off other two dses girls names)

[furryelephant]

I knew an Elizabeth who got called Bunty. I never understand why but it suited her!

[T00much]

Bess. Love that name.
