Olivia or Elisabeth?

[Alodia]

Which name?

Elisabeth

Elisabeth

Elisabeth

Is there a reason why it’s Elisabeth not Elizabeth? I prefer the one with z but either way a beautiful elegant name.

Both are lovely, but please spell it Elizabeth!

Elisabeth is the Welsh, German, French, Greek, Elisabeth Beresford one....

and it's great because it has so many different shortened versions. So nicknames can be appropriate however she turns out

Elisabeth.

I personally much prefer the S spelling to the Z.

Presumably Elisabeth is pronounced differently to Elizabeth?

As in Eleesa Beth? Or Elisa Beth?

Elizabeth! So many nickname options too. Olivia is extremely overused- every group, soft play, day out we go on there’s at least one! Popular is one thing but Olivia really is everywhere.

Elisabeth for sure!

Like Olivia best myself

Elisabeth

How is Elisabeth pronounced?

I'd choose Elizabeth if you are in the UK - it's the most timeless women's name with some amazing namesakes (and currently the least popular of the two). But I'd spell it with a Z otherwise she'll likely spend her life saying "Elisabeth with an S".

If you hate it with the Z, then I'd go for Olivia - super popular but the bonus of that is that everyone will know how to say and spell it.

Ellie/Elle/Ella
Eliza
Elsie
Liz
Lizzie
Libby
Liza
Beth
Bess
Bessie
Betty
Betsy
Lily(?)

And I've probably missed loads out classic and versatile.

Elisabeth with that spelling.

Elisabeth!

I pronounce Elisabeth just like Elizabeth but with a softer "S" sound.

I like Elisabeth with an S, that spelling is used in lots of countries and cultures. I think it looks prettier than Elizabeth.

I work with an Elisabeth and people seem to be able to spell it.
