Lily, Lilli, Lillibet or Bettina

[Rosemary2022]

Which of these is your favourite for a nickname for Elizabeth?

Betty

None of these are nicknames for Elizabeth, Lilibet if you have blue blood.
Assuming you don't, Liz, Lizzie, or Beth. Of those I like Beth.

Of those Lily, in general Elsa. Lilibet makes me think you are an ardent royalist and Bettina is a dated German name.

Bettina is just awful.

I like Beth or Lizzie.

Liesl
Buffy.

Why do children always need a nickname? Genuine question? Why not just name them the name you prefer?

If I HAD to pick a nickname for Elizabeth, it would be Beth. I agree, none you have chosen are actual nn's for Elizabeth!

Although lilibet works this year with the jubilee.

Lily X

I like Betty. I know an 11yo Betty who is adorable.

I also like Beth, Lizzie (but not Liz, ugh) and Eliza

Lilibet is sweet but it's too closely associated with the Queen. Lily isn't short for Elizabeth and nor is Bettina. Lilli is just misspelt Lily.

Thanks SpringSunshine09

Or, if like my friend's daughter you hate Elizabeth and all derivatives, you become Zabe, pronounced Zay Be. It suits her (a bit goth).

Bettina is the cow in Paw Patrol 🐮.
Lillibet will forever be associated with Harry and Megan.
She’ll inevitably end up as liz, Lizzie or Beth, maybe at a push Elle to rhyme with bell.

None of those.
If I had an Elizabeth I would call her Liz, Lizzie or Beth.

If I wanted to call a child Lily. I would call her Lily.

I wouldn't use any of the others at all.

I LOVE Zabe.

I want to be a cool 16 yo goth again.

DD is Elizabeth and we call her Zibby. But random but she pulls it off and never have the problem of other kids with the same name!

Libby

Actually none.

I love Beth though.

Beth

I also like Lily but would not see it as a nn for Elizabeth.

Bess

I used to know an Elizabeth called Tizzy. It was sweet and suited her.

Lily is a nickname for Lilian, not Elizabeth.

None of them, sorry op. I wouldn't ever think Lily was short for Elizabeth. Betty or Libby are the best IMO.

From OP's list, Lily. It certainly can be used as a diminutive of Elizabeth, though it's uncommon.

I really like Lily, it's simple and pretty. I'm not keen on the others at all.

Bessie but for me it's a family name so has extra meaning.

Lily or Lili (one L and an I is the Welsh spelling).

Otherwise Betty/Beti, Betsy/Betsi, Beth, Bess, Bessie, Liz, Lizzie, Libby, Eliza, Liza and Lisa.

I've always liked Libby for Elizabeth but Beth and Eliza are nice too.
