dd1 is called elisabet (dutch heritage). Would it be odd or fine to nickname her isabel? Living in an English speaking country, we were daft to go with the European spelling of Elisabet and are constantly running into problems in terms of how people pronounce and spell her name.
What other nicknames would work? Thanks

Isabel is a different name. You can't pick a nickname, that's just choosing to call her something different. Nicknames should evolve!

I think Isabel is daft as a nickname. It's a full proper name.

Ellie, Lizzie, Izzy, Betty...
