Elizabeth.
Hello. We are expecting our 3 child any day now and really stuck with names this time around.
We have a 6 years old called Emily Minnie Harpin and a 4 years old boy called Ben Harpin.
We are expecting a girl and my husband is keen on the name Elizabeth.... I think it’s a bit boring...? He loves Lizzie the character from pride and prejudice, and says that’s it’s just classic and strong... he says it’s so not cool that it’s actually cool 😬😳😂
What do you guys think?
I’m so lost.... I wanted a bit more of a cool/ deferent name as we have very traditional names for the siblings.
Any advice? Suggestions?
Thank you!!!

I’ve really gone off Lydia since watching the Handmaid’s Tale 😂 Love Nancy though - thanks, will put it in my list.

My husband loved it but I just couldn't get behind it - I knew too many for it to feel current. Nothing wrong with it as a name though

I think Betty is a really cool name.

I think it's lovely and classic and will go well with Emily and Ben. Nice set of names.

Elizabeth is a lovely, classic name. Shortened to Libby is nice. As is Beth.

Elizabeth is gorgeous. I'm not fussed on Lizzie, though. I prefer Beth as nn.
That's just my personal preference, though.
