And does it stand the child and adult test?

I think it suits a little girl but not sure about an adult?

A lot of names start off as nicknames but become names in their own right. Isn't Jack a nickname for John and Harry for Henry and Daisy for Margaret? Imo these are all now seen as names rather than nicknames. I like Betsy.

It's a nickname.

Not the best one available either.

Harri was a Welsh name in it's own right before it was adopted as a nickname for Henry spelt Harry.

I still see Jack and Daisy as nicknames though.

It's a cutesy/old lady chic nickname IMO. I don't like it much. Betsi even worse! Heinous.
I love Beth and Bethany.

I know a Betsan whose nn is Betsy. She's 2 and cute, think it's a lovely nn.

It's a nickname for Elizabeth. It's cute. Elizabeth is one of the best names ever.
