Hi everyone, I was just wondering what your favourite nicknames for Elizabeth are? Our DD tends to be called Betsy at home. Not sure if it’s the best choice for when she gets older though! Opinions appreciated!

Elizabeth has so many potential nicknames!

Libby short for Elizabeth is one of my all time favourite names

I’ve never thought about Bess before but I really like it

Betsy is fine for an adult.
I like Bet, Beth, Liz, Lizzie, Elsa, Betsy, Libby, Lily (but not Lil), Lisa, Eliza ...

Betsy is fine and it came naturally they're usually the best ones...

Betsy is gorgeous Most tend tobe Liz or Beth so honestly I would stick with Betsy. DD3's Best friend is Beth but has recently started being called Betty by some of her friends. It started out as a joke (made by friend) and then it stuck. She likes it.
