Zsa Zsa as a nickname at home for an Elizabeth? A bit more interesting than Liza or Betsy? Or daft? What are your thoughts?

Lol

Zsa Zsa is the name of Norrie’s teddy bear on Hey Duggee Grin

DramaAlpaca · 25/03/2019 20:15

Yes it's daft. Assuming you're pregnant, I'm going to blame your hormones.

JeremyIronsBenFolds · 25/03/2019 20:16

(Possibly outing) I was at school with a girl called this as her actual name, not a nickname. No one said anything about it (because she was a terrifying bully). But could be cute as your personal nickname for her.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 25/03/2019 20:32

I think it's cute too but I'd probably snicker if I heard someone using the name to call their child but I'm immature Grin

There are so many lovely nicknames for Elizabeth... Zsa Zsa is awful and not even very easy to say.

DailyFailAreTwats · 25/03/2019 20:44

I know a Zsa Zsa as a family nick name for an Alexandra.

PinkieTuscadero · 25/03/2019 20:59

If she comes out of the womb wearing furry mules and a feather boa, I say go for it.

Gunpowder · 25/03/2019 21:01

Ooh I LOVE IT!

PotteringAlong · 25/03/2019 21:01

Like Zsa Zsa Gabor?

Peachbubble · 25/03/2019 21:02

It's a nn for the Hungarian form of Susannah, isn't it?

WanderingTrolley1 · 25/03/2019 21:05

Oh dear. I’d advise against it, personally.

Chocolateisfab · 25/03/2019 21:07

Zara?

MayFayner · 25/03/2019 21:07

peach that’s actually Zsuzsi

WoahThereMama · 25/03/2019 21:09

As in Gabor?

I don’t get the link to Elizabeth at all tbh.

Ohyesiam · 25/03/2019 21:10

It’s a nickname, why not? You should hear the daft things my kids get called at home.

happymummy12345 · 25/03/2019 21:11

It reminded me of the character who was in Eastenders (Tina's daughter) to be 100% honest. That's the first thing I thought of.

MulderitsmeX · 25/03/2019 21:14

Love the name but dont see how it relates to elizabeth. Maybe a stand alone name?

Ps i would automatically think "gabor" but she waa pretty cool so thats ok

Cotswoldmama · 25/03/2019 21:18

I don't get the link to Elizabeth either. I had a hamster called Zsa Zsa when I was a child!

AuntMarch · 25/03/2019 21:19

I get it (EliZAbeth) but I am not keen. My first thought was Hector's house.

MaryBoBary · 25/03/2019 21:35

I don’t personally like it - sounds so exotic for a nickname for such a dull name (sorry, not a fan of Elizabeth).

I know someone called Elizabeth but known by everyone as Lally. Don’t know if that’s a common shortening for that name or not but that’s what she goes by at work etc.

WoahThereMama · 25/03/2019 21:38

Aunt but the ZA in Elizabeth isn’t pronounced the same as Zsa?

wizzler · 25/03/2019 21:44

Like a pp I immediately thought of He tors House.

sue51 · 25/03/2019 21:47

No. It sounds like a name for a very small dog.

TiggeryBear · 25/03/2019 21:48

@Creatureofthenight that was my first thought too! Grin
