Elise?

TeenDivided · 05/01/2023 12:57

I guess you could use Elspeth.

Why can't you use Elizabeth? If it is a cousin then as long as they aren't known as Lizzie I don't see why you couldn't...

MolesOnPoles · 05/01/2023 12:57

Eliza, Elspbeth, Lindsay at a stretch?

but people will probably assume she’s an Elizabeth if that’s a problem.

Eliza

Why can't you just have Lizzie on the birth certificate?

Purplemagnolias · 05/01/2023 13:57

Liz or Lizzie is generally short for Elizabeth

Why can't you use it?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/01/2023 19:50

Lizanne/a.
Lizelle/a.
Lizette.

Firebird83 · 05/01/2023 22:13

How about Lissie/Lissy short for Felicity?

PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister · 05/01/2023 22:14

Why can’t you use Elizabeth? You either use Elizabeth or just use Lizzie as the full name.

RambamThankyouMam · 05/01/2023 22:48

Lizzie is short for Elizabeth. It just is.

Don't condemn her to a lifetime of "No... not short for Elizabeth."

I know a Jessie. Just Jessie. If she had a pound for every time she's had to say "Not short for Jessica", she'd be rich as Croesus.

Thanks for all replies. I love Elizabeth. Husband says it is a 'middle name'. Happy to call her Lizzie though . Hadn't thought of Eliza .

Elizabeth is not a 'middle name' - your DH is being ridiculous.
If it was good enough for the Queen it is good enough for your DD!

Luredbyapomegranate · 06/01/2023 19:47

I do think your husband is being a dope - it’s a great name, and Eliza is really just a diminutive.

You could go for the full biblical Elisheva? It’s quite splendid.😁 Or Isabella come to that, it’s just the Latin form.

Call her Lizzie then?

SallyWD · 06/01/2023 20:04

When people use Elizabeth as a middle name I always feel it's a waste of a good name! It very much deserves to be a first name.

SparkyBlue · 06/01/2023 20:39

Elizabeth is a gorgeous name. An absolute classic and I love Lizzie.

BeginningToLookALotLike · 06/01/2023 20:43

Lilibet

KangarooKenny · 06/01/2023 21:40

Elizabeth is a lovely name, but if you want Lizzie I’d just have that.
