Favourite nn for Elizabeth?

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??

I like Beth, Betsy and, favourite is Lizzie (I have a friend with this name who is super cool). All the diminutives of Elizabeth are nice (apart from Liz - sorry to Lizes everywhere)

It’s very weird to come on mumsnet and see my name everywhere, feel like I’m being talked about Grin
Its not Elizabeth, it’s one of the diminutives.

Libby or Betty are nice nicknames.

Betsy is nice, but so is Lizzie. I think Lizzie is my favourite.

Of course Beth is short for Elizabeth.

Nancy is not - it’s a diminutive of Ann/ Anne

I think Bethany is quite a new name
