I like both, with Libby for short.

For some reason I really can't picture Elizabeth/Elisabeth on a young girl despite it being so popular and really dislike it. I do like the nn Beth and Libby though.

For reasons you've stated above- that you don't want her to be one of several in a class, and that you dislike the nickname Liz, I would go with Liberty.

Elisabeth

Elisabeth for sure

Elisabeth is a classic. IMO Liberty is awful - sorry!

I like both Elisabeth and Liberty.
Elisabeth is timeless.

For the nick name Libby, I prefer Liberty.

Liberty reminds me of sanitary towels. Not sure why.

I think Liberty is gorgeous, Elisabeth is all right but a bit boring

I really dislike Elizabeth but Elisabeth is better - I think because it looks slightly 'softer'. Liberty is lovely x

Can you picture yourself standing on the playground or beach shouting liberty? People would either think your lost your dog or gone mad.

fwiw Elisabeth is the German version and is pronounced differently.
Nice and classic and for this reason I prefer to Liberty.
Or Elspeth if you're stuck on the 's'.
Or why not just name her Libby?

I like Liberty. Really strong name. Don't like Libby.

I wouldn't choose Elisabeth as a. It'll often be misspelt and b. You don't like the abbreviations Liz etc.
