We need a name that is somehow related to Elisabeth.

What do you think?

Bethan or Betsan?

I think Bethan is more popular but then not living in Wales is Betsan too welsh? but then it doesnt have a weird sound or anything

I like the names Beth, Bethan, Betty, Betsy.
I do like Betsan, but it's not well known outside of Wales so she would probably have to explain / repeat it every time she goes somewhere new.
I like Liz and Lizzie to.

All of that said, I think it's a lot easier if your initial remains the same, whether you are using your full or shortened name...a 'Betty' I know has had a lot of problems over the years with cheques etc addressed to B.Surname when her bank account is E.Surname.

I love Bethan. It's one of DD's middle names.

I think Bethan is lovely

I think Betsan is too Welsh. Sounds like some san pro products, sorry Sad

how about things like Eliza or Elise or Elsbeth or Liza or Lilly or Bethany ?
