Elisabetta Wren? Thoughts please!

[Firsttime27]

Still mulling over names with one week to go..! I think I'm loving this (though may change my mind in the morning). It has the Italian connection and DP's grandmother was Elizabeth. Was thinking Etta or Betty for nn.
Honest thoughts please x

Aw thank you for all the input! Perfume you have summed it up well! It is so difficult. Proud of Italian heritage but woyldn't want her to resent me giving her an Italian name..which is why I like the scope for nicknames.
Good to hear that they use Betty and Betta in Italy allegretto! Would you say it is a trendy name there?

DP and I have come up with a plan to have a list of 3 names each that we love and have really thought about and then try and agree on one. Elisabetta will be on mine! Now for the other 2....

Elise is also a pretty shortening - much nicer than Liz or Lizzie for Elizabeth.

I don't know any children called Elisabetta, only women in their forties but I wouldn't let that put you off - it's a lovely name. I would have used it myself but it didn't go with our surname.

No Elizabetta, better than what? Sounds wrong. Elizabeth Wren sounds more classy and not made up.

Um.... It's not 'made up'. Elisabetta is the Italian version of Elizabeth. OP is half Italian as she has previously explained, if you could be bothered to RTFT.
