Elizabeth

[123Dancewithme]

What’s your favourite shortening of Elizabeth?

Eliza. We would call a baby girl Eliza-Rose if we get pregnant with a girl

I’m not sure if it’s my favourite but Buffy is an uncommon nickname for Elizabeth. I know you didn’t ask for uncommon but... 🤷‍♀️

I like Lizzie or Eliza I think. Love Elizabeth by the way

Bess or Beth.

My sister is Elizabeth and my mum used to call her Lulubeth when she was little. Not much of a shortening but I thought it was lovely.

Lovely name, I've only known lizzy or liz, but I think there are soo many ways you could make it work... Betty, Eliza, Beth.

So many options

Buffy, I know a few tbh!

Also a Beth and plenty of Liz'

Eliza
Lizzie
Beth
In that order. I don’t like Liz or Betty.

Eliza or Lizzy but I am watching Pride and Prejudice right now, which may be an influence!

Lizzy or Libby.

Elspeth or Lisbeth. I like Betsy and Lizzie too for a different vibe.

We have a five year old Elizabeth, it lends itself to lots of shortenings! Mainly we use Lizzie, Libbeth and Elsie. Ells-bells if she's being particularly difficult. When she was two she would refer to herself as E-liff, which was very cute.

This days, unfortunately, she demands that we change her name to "Hearts".

They're unfashionable but I like Lisa and Liza. I also like Beth and Bess. I don't like the cutesy nicknames like Libby and Betsy.

Lizzie

El, Ellie, Ella, Eliza, Lizzie, Liz, Libby, Beth.

Beth or Libby are my favourites.

Betsy

Lily

Libby

Eliza
Betsy
Ellie

I really don't like Liz or Lizzie

Beth and Liesel (rarely heard in the UK, though).

Libby, I love it but unfortunately DD’s dad hated it

Our daughter was nearly an Elizabeth Claire - it was certainly on the shortlist!

In the end, we decided it was too long with our surname, and had too many nickname possibilities! We wanted her name to be her name. In the end we went with Ivy Claire.

Lizzie, lilibet and whizzy

Libby short for Elizabeth is my all time favourite name
