Hi everyone, I was just wondering what your favourite nicknames for Elizabeth are? Our DD tends to be called Betsy at home. Not sure if it’s the best choice for when she gets older though! Opinions appreciated!

My mum is Elsie and my sister is Liz to some people (I still call her Elizabeth)

Lizzie / Eliza

Lizzie or Beth

I do agree with previous comments to some extent, she might pick her own, but sometimes people go with what they know.

I don't want to put my own name on here but it can be shortened a couple different ways , I've always been known as one (by my family) so I'd never have even considered using an alternative. Actually I rarely refer to myself with my full name either lol. If you're constantly being called by a certain name you're more likely to stick with that I think

Lizzie or Libby

Many of my friends were given nicknames by their parents that continued into adulthood, so surely it sometimes has some bearing and nicknames often stick (although she’s perfectly welcome to choose whatever nickname she likes, obviously). I was just curious as to what other people liked and what they thought of when hearing the different nicknames.

Beth.

But I agree - she'll choose her own!

When she's older, she'll choose her own. You don't need to plan it for her.
