Beth around 10.

Elizabeth not shortened but only a teeny baby so still time for a nickname to be chosen!

Also know 2 Libby's who are just Libby not from Elizabeth but as a name on its own. And an Ellie too actually now I think of it.

I know an 11 year old Lizzie

Fridasfridgefreezer · 14/04/2018 23:11

Effie. 3.

mamaduckbone · 14/04/2018 23:12

1 Libby and 1 Lizzie. Both lovely!

Only one, she’s 8, Betsy.

Those who have an Elizabeth who isn't a Lizzie or Libby, did you find it difficult to make the nn "stick"? I was thinking Elsie or Elsa but it seems this would be pretty rare.

deptfordgirl · 14/04/2018 23:56

Oh and she's 5

Dogsrbarking · 15/04/2018 09:48

I know a 5year old Betty, she's registered as Elizabeth but has been called Betty since birth.

Libby (5)

Justwaitingforaline · 15/04/2018 10:18

Whiz, she’s 7 months

BeyondThePage · 15/04/2018 10:19

buzz (15) - family nickname - was going to be Beth, but it didn't stick.

Justwaitingforaline · 15/04/2018 10:20

OP why don’t you use Elsbeth/ Elspeth for Elsa or Elsie to be a NN?

Lancelottie · 15/04/2018 10:22

Beth
Lizzie
Libby
Iz (all mid-teens)
Plus
Tilly (I think she’s actually Charlotte Elizabeth, and it comes from the two names run together)

DowntheTown · 15/04/2018 10:27

Beth - 5

PotteringAlong · 15/04/2018 10:28

Beth. She’s 6

ChesterBelloc · 15/04/2018 10:28

Lily (her name is spelt Elisabeth.)

salvadory · 15/04/2018 10:41

Her parents call her Bitsy she’s 6. Her friends call her Elizabeth always.

mostdays · 15/04/2018 10:42

Betty. She's not long turned two.

mostdays · 15/04/2018 10:43

Oh, I forgot Bess, she's in ds2's class so must be aged 9.

NataliaOsipova · 15/04/2018 10:45
