I’m Elizabeth and called Liz or Lizzie

Firebird83 · 04/08/2024 19:08

Mine is a Betsy

LoneHydrangea · 04/08/2024 18:36

My aunt is Elizabeth, known as Lizzie. I have 2 friends that are Elizabeth, one is Liz, one Eliza.

I love all of those shortenings but really loathe Libby or Beth.

Lizze
Beth

My DD is Eliza, Lizzie and Lizziebeth. Although one of the reasons for choosing the name was that I love all the possible shortenings and she can choose how she wants to be called when she's older.

CurlewKate · 04/08/2024 15:29

Liz

MonaChopsis · 04/08/2024 15:29

The Elisabeth's I know are mainly called Liz or Lizzie.

Only exception is called Biffy, apparently because she used to pronounce her name 'Liss-Bif'.

StormingNorman · 04/08/2024 15:27

Lily. Although Buffy is cute too.

PostMenPatWithACat · 04/08/2024 15:24

Her friends will chose it in due course.

Ellie

I am close to an Elizabeth who is known as:
Elizabeth
Liz
Lizzie
Betts
Betsy
Lilibet

It's a great name for options

BeeandG · 03/08/2024 22:18

I'm an Elizabeth and its Lizzie for me. Chose it when I was 11! And been that ever since. I still like it!!

LyricalGangsta · 03/08/2024 21:58

Lillibet I got called

BetteLaSwet · 03/08/2024 21:56

I like Lizzie.

I knew a French Elisabeth who was known as Babette, just to throw that out there.

ButtonMoonBlanketSky · 03/08/2024 17:46

Libby, Betsy or Betty

StoatofDisarray · 03/08/2024 09:01

Queenie.

verabarbleen · 03/08/2024 08:58

My little one is Elizabeth my plan was her nickname to be Beth or Betty but she is now 3 and everyone calls her Lizzie , that's her favourite 🤩

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 02/08/2024 22:02

Cute and modern Bizzy (instead of more commonplace Lizzie) or old fashioned Bess (as in Elizabeth I “Good Queen Bess” ) .I also think trendy Effie sounds quite cool (like the character in TV’s Skins).

Sorry I couldn’t decide on just one - Elizabeth is such a fab name, partly because of all the nickname options but also as it’s the ultimate timeless classic with some amazing historical namesakes.

Pintu · 02/08/2024 20:15

Ellie, Eliza, Beth

MrsMoastyToasty · 02/08/2024 19:09

Since I read the Chalet School books many moons ago I have liked Elisaveta as a name.

Flidina · 02/08/2024 18:41

I like the late Queens nickname, Lilibet.

Meadowwild · 02/08/2024 15:10

Elizabeth is a beautiful name. I like Eliza, Beth, Ella, Elsie, Elle, Liza, Bibi.

It's the most versatile name.

GoldenLegend · 02/08/2024 15:07

Libby

Gowlbag · 02/08/2024 14:06

My Elizabeth is a Libby but I prefer Birdie. If I’d known it was an acceptable nickname for Elizabeth I’d have called her that. Although she has told me she’d have hated it 🤣
