Ellie or betsy

Opinions please

I think Betsy as a full name is used a lot by the traveller community? Wouldn’t stop me using it but just sprang to mind.

Betsy is going to be our little girl's middle name when she's born, I love it, go with that!

There's also Bettina as a possibility

Betsy

the funny thing is you're so against Elizabeth but both the names you like are shortenings of it. theres also a host of other nicknames like lizzie, Beth, effie that she could use from it. as someone who had a name which cant be shortened or changed and was unusual, I wish my parents had given me one with nickname choices.

If you love Ellie but worry about it being too popular what about Eliana or Elisa.

The Times announcing the new Chairperson of the Bank of England....Betsy.

Nope.

Betsy

LOVE Betsy! Not Elizabeth. Betsy is sooo cute. Elizabeth is so boring.

Betsy! Although I am biased because my niece is Betsy and she is the most brilliant little girl in the world!

I think Betsy is too cute. It works for a child or an old lady but not really the long bit in between. I’d always assume a Betsy was an Elizabeth and personally I prefer longer names on the birth certificate even if the long name was never used.
Ironically, both names you like could be nicknames of Elizabeth yet you don’t like it!
Ellie is dull as paint so on that basis, I’d have to say Betsy is better.

Sorry personally I really don't like the name Betsy unless for an elderly lady with a perm iyswim...
I like Ellie more.

Four of my late Mums neighbours were named Betsy,and that was in the 1940 war era ha ha.. Best go for Doris, as that was my late Mums name. ha ha, There was also an Ellie in our street in the 1940 era,but her proper name was Ellen.

I had a friend,who wanted to name her daughter Tania, but she spent ages trying to decide if it should be Tania, Tanya,or even Tanniya. omg, such problems ha ha.

Betsy much cooler than Ellie which is a bit dated now.
