They are all nice but I'd go Elizabeth, Eleanor and then Violet.

I love them all. Elizabeth is best for nicknames but they're all beautiful names

Really hard one as I love all these. Eleanor first I think, but that's just today!

Elizabeth is a name I adore. I love all the various shortenings (except Liz and Lizzie). But I have known children caled by the full name and also shortened to Ellie, Beth, Libby, Betsy and Eliza.

We almost used it for DD2, but our favourite nicknames (Libby and Eliza) we're already in use.

Elizabeth is nice because it is a traditional name, lots of options but not too many around. I teach very few girls with this name.

Eleanor is nice too, but there are so many of them around.

Sorry, but I dislike Violet.

I wouldn't shorten any of these names, I detest shortened names,

Elizabeth is nice and has so many different toned diminutives
Violet-a bit twee
Eleanor - really common here in its various forms

Elizabeth is great. Eleanor (or Elinor) is very good.

Violet is frankly execrable.
