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.

Love the name! There are so many nicknames you can have too

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