Honestly, truthfully please. My daughter is called Elizabeth, but we call her Beth. I'm a little conerned that some people call her 'beff' and some say 'our beth' sounding like Arbeth.
Do you think we should shorten it to something else, such as Liza or Elsie?

Love it too DD3 is going to be a Bethany when she finally decides to come out!

Beth is nice. Our DD2 has Elizabeth as a middle name and one of her nn is Bets (given by her 3 year old sister).

Beth is lovely and my favourite diminutive of Elizabeth. Stick with it, I say!
