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 Irish auntie is called Lizabet

I love Elizabeth and the reason is because of all the nm you can get out of it.
My favourites are Beth, Eliza & Lizzy. But I think I would depend on what the character of my DD and it would be totally up to her which nickname she chose. If any

Eliza is my favourite but I also like Beth a lot.

Betty

Test is a nn for Theresa.

I'm an Elizabeth known as Liz and I hate it. I didn't really chose it, people just started to call me it! I wish I'd adopted Beth myself as I prefer that. I also like Bess or Bessie but would have very unfashionable growing up in the 80s and 90s I suppose.

Betsy

But most of the nicknames are great!

I love the name Elizabeth. My favourite nn is Libby, but Beth is also nice.

I'm an Elizabeth and always known as either Lizzie or Liz.

Twizbe is my brothers nn for me from not being able to say Lizzie properly.

My mum said she picked it because there are 42 nicknames for Elizabeth so I was bound to find one I liked.

Beth or Betsy. Really dislike Ellie, and can't imagine a Liz under 40!

I know two 7 year old Elizabeths who are known as Lizzie and Elizabeth.

The Betsy I knew was just Betsy on the birth certificate.

I like Liz for adults but I'd probably use Lizzie at least until secondary school.

Lol - secondary school was when I became Liz rather than Lizzie.

My Grandmother was Elizabeth & she loved her full name & hated the fact that it had always been shortened to Bettie.

After she died my cousin named his daughter Elizabeth after her...she is 9 now & gets called Bettie too, so it's just going down the generations

I think it's an outstanding name. My favourite shortening would be Bess.

I have heard Tess as a nn. It’s too popular to have particular royal associations

I have never heard of Tess as a nickname for Elizabeth, only for Theresa. This thread is the first time I've ever come across it. Was it actually a thing, before Tess Daley?

Eliza
Betty
Betsy
Elsie
Bessie
Elspeth

Am I the only one who likes "Liz"? I think it's quite cool sounding.

I love Eliza but think it's different-sounding enough that it really needs to be a separate name.

I like Liz but not keen on Elsie.

Bessie and Lizzie.

Oh, forgot Buffy and Bizzy/Busy for Elizabeth too - very cute nn's on a little one.

My Elizabeth was always Elizabeth. I also have a Victoria and an Alexandra. I am not a royalist 😂😂

All of them go by their full names 😊

Libby

Elsie, Liz, Lizzie, Lissy. Libby, Beth, Bethan, Tess, Izzy. There are plenty!

@XmasSadface

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

You sure? It's literally in the name!

Libby
Lizzy
Beth

I love Eliza (username blatantly obvious) but love the full title too!!

Not Lilibet
