Nicknames for Elizabeth

[Thirstysomething]

Bess, Beth, Betsy, Betty, Eliza, Libby - any others? Dh keen on the name, but I am not sure yet.

I'm not Elizabeth, but I do wish my birth certificate simply said my NN. I was only called my full name if I was naughty.

If I hear my full name being used anywhere it doesn't register as my name at all. I certainly wouldn't turn round unless some one added my surname.

There are gazillions of them, that's why some see Elizabeth as being the ultimate name, as while it's fairly popular, any girl/woman can make it her own thanks to all the nicknames.

Mine has somehow come to be known as Bella...

wow Freedom, that is some list! thanks

My daughter is Lizzie, her full name being used if we are scolding her!
