Liza, Lily, Zaza

Liz, Lizzy

Lisbeth, Eliza, Eliz, Lilibet.

Beth

my mum gets called Elsie and some people call my sister Liz (both Elizabeth in full). I have always called my sister by her full name.

Biff, sadly having never met Oxford reading tree I never asked why the Elizabeth I was stuck sharing a flat with was called Biff.

She was very annoying, it suited her.

Elizabeth is a lovely name, I'm a mad keen gymnastics fan so it would have to be Beth!

Libby, Liz, Lizzie, Eli, Beth

Ella

The ones that I have heard are:
Elsie
Else
Elsa
Elsie Bet
Elissa
Liss
Lissa
Lissie
Elisabeta
Sabie

Effy

ooh, I love Zaza...

I know a couple of Buffys, who are really Elizabeths - though I've never much liked that abbreviation, especially now with the vampire connections!

My daughter is called Elizabeth but known as Beth. She went through a phase of calling herself Betty too. We were going to just name her Beth but I think that sounds quite 'young'. Elizabeth gives her lots of options as she grows up.

I know a Zibby. Took a while to get used to but it suits her.

I like Libby or Lilibet.

I would have called a dd this, but don't have one.

Be

My sil gets called ziggy

The 3 I know Born in the last 6 months are all nickname Libby

One in our wider family is known as Libby or Lib mostly. Others I know go as Liz or Lizzie, or Buffy, or Beth.

my aunt's name is officially Elizabeth but is called Beth, nicknamed Bethie. She has complained to me that she wishes she had been named Beth to start with and not have to fill in every form with her long name. similarly dh is called Benjamin and hates it. make sure if you shorten the name you don't turn it into their full name by mistake unofficially iyswim.

Mine is a Lizzie. Occasionally Eliza.

I like Busy though (famous american actress uses that I think) but you could also go for a Dizzy if it suits I guess!

The Elizabeth I know is known as Bizzy.

I have an Elizabeth, we call her Bethie Boo or Little B.
