What is your favourite shortening of Elizabeth and Alexandra

[NighteyesLovesGingerbread]

So having been roundly assured that Tess is not an acceptable nn for Elizabeth what is your favourite shortening of:

Elizabeth/Elisabeth
Alexandra

Thanks

Lexi uber popular now, I know about 5. That may not bother u but I thought I'd mention in case.

Elsa, Elsie, Betsy, Libby are all lovely.

Don't really like any for Alexandra though. Alexa maybe. Sandy is kind of retro.

I love Tess. Beth is second-best. But Tess is beautiful,. It makes me think of Thomas Hardy, but it's still beautiful.

Alex. I don't like Lexi. It makes me thing of Dyslexia and Alexia.

Libby & Alix

Marymaymay if you want to be Alex, why not change it? People will come around, gradually.

I think it depends on the child a bit. Lots of the nicknames seem to have quite different personalities to me.

If my eldest was called Elizabeth or Alexandra, I'd nickname her Libby or Sasha.

Whereas my youngest would be Lisby, or Sashka, which I don't like quite as much, but just seem to suit her more.

Beth and Alex.

Betsy and Ally.

Ooh, or Bess for Elizabeth.

Lizzy for Elizabeth and Alexa for Alexandra. Lily for both

I went to school with an Elizabeth and she was known as Libby

and I also went to school with an Alexandra who was known as Xanny.

Bea or Betty for Elizabeth

Bessie and sasha

I have baby Betty and I adore the name, even now 20 months on saying it makes me smile! So I'm tremendously biased. I do know two Elizabeth's who are Biz, but you have to be cool to carry it

I had an aunt whose name was Elisabeth and she was always known as Betbet.

Lizzie and Alex.
I wouldn't worry about it too much- they are likely to pick their own when older. If I was called Betty I would swiftly change it to Liz or Lizzie as soon as I was able.

I truly don't like the name Liz at all. It's Corrie that's done it.

I never watch it and so it has no connotations for me.

Bessie or Lizzie and Alex or Sasha. Really not keen on Lexie.

Beth (I'm biased). Quite like Betsy too but it feels more like a little girl's name & not sure of I can see an adult called this?
Lexi - Don't care of MNs don't like it. Had DS been born a girl, he would be Alexandra (Lexi)

Bitta and Alix

Beth and Sasha

Lexi sounds like a car, or a white goods brand.
