Nice for a baby or too middle aged/too much of a mouthful?

Lovely name.

Justcallmemeg · 19/11/2020 12:41

Beautiful name

CheesePleaseLoueese · 19/11/2020 12:41

Classic and beautiful.

I like the nicknames Betty and Eliza

Really love it, had it as a middle name for dd1 but wish I could have had it as a first name for dd2 really - love all the shorter versions, especially Beth and Eliza

Classic - I really like Beth as a nn for a little one

There's not much to fault about it really. Its timeless and classless. When I say classless it belongs in any class from the Queen to the working class.
Plus the NN options are endless.
Its one of those names though where you have to pronounce it properly otherwise it does sound dreadful. I heard" Lizbit, get here, now", the other week. It made a,beautiful name sound completely awful and chavvy.

Lovely name, and so much potential for nicknames, Bessie, Bess, Beth, Betty, Bettina, Liz, Lizzie, Eliza, Lizza, Libby.

Love it, so many shortening possibilities. My favourite is Betty

Ismellphantoms · 19/11/2020 12:24

Perfect. She'll have a good choice of shortened versions and using Elizabeth is fine for any age.

missmus · 19/11/2020 12:22

Pretty and classic. Beth for short.

Hmm it’s quite grown up but I mean she’ll be a grown up for most of her life. I know a 5 year old Elizabeth, not shortened, it’s a pretty name.
