Which one do you prefer? It would be short for Elizabeth.

Libby, but I prefer Liz or Lizzie. Or Beth, depending on what the child turns out like. Elizabeth is a great name because there's so many diminutives available, the child can choose their own if they want when they're older.

Betsy is too much a Dickensian character for my taste, though it's ok.
