Favourite nn for Elizabeth?

[MoominMeggy]

I'm starting to quite like Elizabeth, mainly due to the abundance of nicknames. My favourite is Beth I think. Someone suggested Tess could also be nn? What would your favourite nn be? Also, do you think naming your baby Elizabeth might make you sound a bit royalist??

My mum's name is shortened to Elsie

Betsy

Beth isnt a nickname of Elizabeth, that's stealing! Beth is it's own name - Bethany. Very cute name.

Of course Beth is a nn of Elizabeth @XmasSadface.

My favourite is Lizzie

Zazie

If any of my 3 boys had been girls, there's a strong possibility they'd have been an Elizabeth! Love the name. My favourite nn are Beth and Libby.

Buffy
Betsy

I'm an Elizabeth and have had many nicknames, particularly more affectionate names when I was young from different family members. I am Liz now but am/have been called Lizzie, Lilly (lilly pad, lilly bear), ledibet, lidibid.
Others often shorten to Eliza...
Plenty of names!

My faves would be Eliza, Libby or Bet

Libby

I love Beth. Hate Bethany, though I like Bethan.

Beth and Betty

I like Libby. Dh likes Beth. Dd was nearly an Elizabeth. (But we couldn’t agree on Libby vs Beth!)

Betty is my favourite Elizabeth nickname.

Tess is lovely, as is Lizzie. I’m less fond of Beth (but of course it’s a diminutive of Elizabeth, not only of Bethany).

Don’t think it sounds royalist – unless you use Lilibet…

Beth, Bethan or Elise.

I think it must be the name with the most derivitaves:

Ellie
Eliza
Elise
Liza
Lisa
Libby
Lilibet
Liz
Lizzy
Isa
Issy
Izzy
Bet
Beth
Betty
Bunty

and loads more especially when you start to look in other countries.

My friend is Elizabeth known as Liggy

Elizabeth is my favourite girls name and we would probably have gone for Lizzie as a nickname but I also like Bess and Bessie.

Definitely Beth or Betty.

Really dislike Libby!

Dislike Liz too - so drab

Betty, Nancy

I love Beth as a pet name for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is an elegant name, lovely.

If I used Elisabeth I’d use Elsa as nickname.

Tess isn't a nickname of Elizabeth? Elizabeth has enough nicknames, no need to make them up

I like Betsy, Betty, Eliza, and Lizzie is growing on me

Bette
Bessie
Lizzy
