DD is Isabel - Elizabeth for DC2?

Obv only if it is a she. I think Isabel was originally the Spanish version of Elizabeth - so would it look odd for a DD2 to be Elizabeth? Or even Bethan?

Isabel is quite often an Izzy, so guess shortening Elizabeth to Lizzy would be daft...

Thoughts?

My immediate thought on reading the title of this thread was that they'd end up being called Issie and Lizzie!

I like your MN name, by the way - made me smile.

I think they are both lovely names, but have you tried saying 'Isabel and Elizabeth'? Of course, you'd probably just refer to them as 'the girls' or 'my daughters' or some such, but it is a bit of a tongue twister if you want to mention them in the same sentence.

Elizabeth is a really good name. And I really don't think most people would get the link with Isabel - I had no idea

The NN i like best for Elizabeth are Beth, Betty, Elle and Betsy
