And if you don't know an Eliza, but you met one, what might you be tempted to call her (other than Eliza?!)

It's top of my girls list (actually, is the only one on the list at the moment) but want to consider all the things she might end up being called before I go with it. I'm not keen on Liza or Liz - would she be constantly getting either do you think?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

In fact Eliza is a shortening of my baptismal name.

I know 1 who's 3 and her mum often calls her Liza,

I think its the only thing I'd be tempted to call her although I don't know if thats just because its what her mum already uses

I know one who is 7. She was ZaZa as a baby!

Lili - cute as a little girl, but won't work forever, though.

I really like it though, it's quite a grand name but has a down to earth feeling too.

I knew one when we lived abroard, she was Australian.
I don't remember anyone shortening it, but the individual will decide what, if any, shortening they are happy with and let people know that (eg I am either my full name or one shortening, I certainly am not another shortening).

Ellie or Liz - although I would probably call her Eliza until I thought she preferred one of the names above.

Pretty name! I think most people go through a nickname stage at some time in their lives - better Liz than something awful!
