Dh's choice, I am yet to be convinced. Should it be short for Elizabeth? Is it too popular? What do you think?

Eliza is fine as a name on its own, doesn't need to be short for anything. I think of it as a bit old fashioned, but that might just be me! I also associate it with the woman from My Fair Lady.
Nice name though, and not very popular as far as I know.

Love it! Always have done and would have been on our list if we had had a girl.

On a down side the actress who played Sonia in EEnders has just had an Eliza Beatrice if that makes ANY difference to you at all!! Wink

Lovely. But SIL has just had an Elise and it's too similar for me to use :(
