Elizabeth?

[Ellen35]

Nice for a baby or too middle aged/too much of a mouthful?

Hmm it’s quite grown up but I mean she’ll be a grown up for most of her life. I know a 5 year old Elizabeth, not shortened, it’s a pretty name.

Pretty and classic. Beth for short.

Perfect. She'll have a good choice of shortened versions and using Elizabeth is fine for any age.

Love it, so many shortening possibilities. My favourite is Betty

Lovely name, and so much potential for nicknames, Bessie, Bess, Beth, Betty, Bettina, Liz, Lizzie, Eliza, Lizza, Libby.

There's not much to fault about it really. Its timeless and classless. When I say classless it belongs in any class from the Queen to the working class.
Plus the NN options are endless.
Its one of those names though where you have to pronounce it properly otherwise it does sound dreadful. I heard" Lizbit, get here, now", the other week. It made a,beautiful name sound completely awful and chavvy.

Classic - I really like Beth as a nn for a little one

Really love it, had it as a middle name for dd1 but wish I could have had it as a first name for dd2 really - love all the shorter versions, especially Beth and Eliza

Classic and beautiful.

I like the nicknames Betty and Eliza

Beautiful name

Lovely name.

Betsy or Lyla are my Elizabeth nn.
Versatile, will grow well with her.

Beautiful - I would call her Elsie for short.

I really like it but don't like that many of the shortened versions so I'd have a think about them before you go for it as it is one of those names that will probably be shortened at some point even if you insist on it being full when she's small!

Love it. Prefer Elisabeth though....

I think this has to be the most versatile name, so many possibilities.

Agree you've got loads of options with it, I think there's a nickname for every personality, and you can change around as a child gets older too.

I had speech delay from hearing problems when I was little and was "Buffy" for a bit - the closest I could come to pronouncing Elizabeth was something like Wurbuf

Love it

I have a Lilibet which is a pet name for Elizabeth

No, too middle aged (as you put it!)

Adore it!
Middle aged names to me are more Sarah Debbie and Hayley type names (all nice of course)
The sort of names that totally slumped after a big boom and now are no where near the top 100 or even top 1000

I think it's beautiful and timeless. I like most of the common short forms, but I don't think it has to be shortened - I have known quite young girls who went by Elizabeth and people coped.

Elizabeth is a classic timeless name. I prefer Elisabeth nn Lissie or Lissa/ Lissia or Elisa. You could have Lil or Lily as well.

The best name in my opinion

I like it too, but I don't like Liz, (but that's because I know two who are just vile). That would be my only hesitation. Weirdly, I do like Lizzy and pretty much all the other shortening options. Eliza, Beth, Betsy, Betty.
