Elizabeth.

Sadiegirl87 · 15/03/2023 07:48

Both lovely but I think Elizabeth is a classic and beautiful name. I've heard of quite a lot of Olivia's which makes it a bit less special for me. Try out both names and see which you feel more comfortable and happy with

Olivia

(I also like Liv as a nickname, or even a standalone: meaning 'life', 'protection', 'shelter' by its Scandinavian roots).

Elizabeth definitely. Olivia was the number one name for years, there’s loads of them.

sunseaandme · 15/03/2023 11:27

Elizabeth but only if you don't mind 'a liz' or 'Lizzie' or 'Betty' nickname as that will be inevitable

Elizabeth/Elisabeth with Libby as a NN

ourflagmeansdeath · 15/03/2023 17:21

Elizabeth - love all the nicknames with Beth being my favourite. It's a beautiful, classic name.

LlynTegid · 15/03/2023 17:23

Olivia, less options for shortening.

Elizabeth. Timeless and ageless classic. Was top girls name a few years back. It will date a whole cohort of girls.
