I’ve name changed for this as we aren’t telling anymore the name until baby is here.
I’m expecting a girl and we are pretty much set on the name Elizabeth. Do you think it’s a nice name? How many baby Elizabeth’s do you know and do they go by a nickname? Thanks

Lovely name with lots of possible diminutives.

It's a timeless classic name, you can be a baby Betty, lizzie or lilly and a grown up Elizabeth. I think it's a nice strong name too. You will get people who don't like it too, but if you love it go with it. FYI don't know any baby Elizabeth's currently, so it's not a very common name at the moment.

I love it. It's one of DD's middle name. I really wanted it as first name but the father wouldn't agree.

Hello ! That's my name. I've always loved it, classic name that suits babies all the way to adulthood.

My close friends call me Liz and professionally I'm Elizabeth. There are many variations to it but you can control it. My mother only calls me Elizabeth.

It goes well with most middle names as well. I think it means "My God is an oath" or "My God is abundance"
