Elizabeth.
Hello. We are expecting our 3 child any day now and really stuck with names this time around.
We have a 6 years old called Emily Minnie Harpin and a 4 years old boy called Ben Harpin.
We are expecting a girl and my husband is keen on the name Elizabeth.... I think it’s a bit boring...? He loves Lizzie the character from pride and prejudice, and says that’s it’s just classic and strong... he says it’s so not cool that it’s actually cool 😬😳😂
What do you guys think?
I’m so lost.... I wanted a bit more of a cool/ deferent name as we have very traditional names for the siblings.
Any advice? Suggestions?
Thank you!!!

My favourite shortening of Elizabeth is Elle.
But will it bother you having 2 Miss E Harpins? Only thinking in terms of post.

Elizabeth is my all time favourite name! Especially with Libby as the nickname

It's my middle name.

I'm an Alyce Elizabeth and get a fair few compliments on my name.

Saying that my mum cant remember I'd my actual birth certificate is Elizabeth or Elisabeth. She had a flare for mis-spelling so it seems!

I love it, it’s classic traditional and not try hard or of an era. It’s like Emily, Alice, Charlotte, Hannah etc. Very elegant.

Do you auavw up against the root growth? I did and it looked horrendous, I've started only shaving down, it doesnt tug and inflame the follicle.. even though you dont get the satin smooth finish it looks slightly better and doesnr look nearly as red.

Try shaving down x

I'm an Elizabeth known as Lizzie - honestly I think it's the best name! My parents chose it partly because of all the shortenings I could choose from. They called me Elizabeth and it was only when I started speaking I became Lizzie because it was the closest to how I pronounced it myself. I always have a great reaction to my name. Personally I don't Libby/Betsy etc too babyish and Liz just annoys me, otherwise I am happy for people to call me any other shortening.

It's a fun name but it's also strong, has a great meaning, and is not a feminised version of a male name - there's no male version of Elizabeth which is pretty cool.

I do have curly hair and often had the old 'busy, dizzy, frizzy Lizzie' combinations, but it's never bothered me and I'm almost fond of those now. I said to my husband I was sorry we couldn't use Elizabeth if we have a daughter but that would be weird these days!

I'm not keen actually. Prefer Nancy and Annie.
However I do like some of the shortenings:

• Beth
• Betsy
• Betty
• Ellie
• Lizzie
• Eliza
• Effie
• Bessie
