Tell me your thoughts on Elizabeth. DH and I are going around in circles trying to find a name for dd3 (we have fairly traditional names for our other dd's.) DH really likes this name (it was the name of his late mother), I am hoping it will grown on me too (I do quite like Eliza) but I think it is the beth bit that I find a bit grating. Any other suggestions please...I know there are plenty of shortened nicknames for Elizabeth too.

Love it. I know an Elizabeth aged 10 and her name is never shortened.

Love it! Its dd’s middle name so only slightly biased Grin I absolutely love Libby as a nickname, I think they’re both classic and beautiful names, so work well.

Love it. It's classic yet can be shortened to so many things plus you have a family connection.
