Zsa Zsa

[dillytilly]

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

Just wait and see. You don't have to pick the nickname now. The best ones come naturally as they grow up.

I agree with bridget, nicknames grow. My children and niece have nicknames that have very little to do with or are not commonly associated with their actual names.

I always wonder when people ‘preplan’ nicknames whether they also organise their own surprise parties and iron their knickers.

Fine as a pet name at home but not for others to use.

If I heard someone call this one out in the park, I'd be looking around for a Pekinese puppy to be honest.

I know someone who has a chihuahua called Zsa Zsa. It suits her as she's very high maintenance (dog not friend). For a child .... no.

I really like it! Go for it!

I like it, but Not as a nn for Elizabeth.
Where do you get Zsa Zsa for Elizabeth. Just use it as a name its own right.

Non it's not the same sound but its closer than some nn you get!

But I still don't like it

Noooooo!

What about Libby as a nn?

Za-za spelling might be easier.

It's daft as a brush but I think it's fine to have a daft nickname at home. Pretty much anything goes, I'd say.

Like Zsazsa The Cat in Hector's House??? LOL

Do home nicknames really matter? As long as she’s Elizabeth she will likely be something else (more conventional) to her friends.

Wasn't it Kiki the cat in Hectors House - or was that the frog?

My friend has a Zara and calls her Zsa Zsa, maybe Zara is an option?

YES!! Love it!

"Boobies mean Rubies" gotta love a bit of zsa zsa

You can choose ANY nn for any formal name you choose....that’s your right as a parent.

My brother is Charlie (just Charlie, not Charles, I know....calm down everyone! 😂) and we’ve always called him Chips.

My niece is called Emily, and is always known as Chops. How do you get to that???? Well, her mother calls her that, so all her friends do too. I know, that actually happens. Crazy! 🙄

“Just use it as a name its own right.”

Please don’t!

No, honey.

It's one of zoe zebra's little sisters in Peppa Pig

Dear god no.

I loved Hector’s House!

You should hear the daft things my kids get called at home.

This. My toddler DD has a very classy MN approved name but only answers to Squidgy and rice cakes.

@jeremyironsbenfolds If this was in a place beginning with E then I know exactly who you mean 😂. Can’t be many of them about...
