Elizabeth, but decide on a diminutive
I like Olivia but it's been overpopular for too long.

Both are overrated and too common imho

Elizabeth

Elizabeth

Popular but it’s a classic with so many short form options (don’t spell it Elisabeth unless you have a reason to - a cousin of mine has it spelt that way, drives her nuts)

Olivia has really been done to death, perfectly nice though it is

Olivia. nn Liv or Lucie

Elizabeth but only if you don't mind 'a liz' or 'Lizzie' or 'Betty' nickname as that will be inevitable

This. I know of 3 Elizabeths and all go by a shortened version.

Olivia is beautiful. Liv/Livvy/Via

Justinripley · 15/03/2023 17:42

Olivia. I like it as a whole name and Liv/Oli.

Elizabeth is too regal for me and I don’t like Lizzy or Betty.

Elizabeth. Timeless and ageless classic. Was top girls name a few years back. It will date a whole cohort of girls.

LlynTegid · 15/03/2023 17:23

Olivia, less options for shortening.

ourflagmeansdeath · 15/03/2023 17:21

Elizabeth - love all the nicknames with Beth being my favourite. It's a beautiful, classic name.
