Elizabeth's nickname

[Biniverse]

What's your favorite nickname for Elizabeth?

Love Elizabeth

Also Libby, Betty, Bess

Diminutives not nicknames. Love Lizzie. Liz is OK.
Bess seems fresh and sassy having been grannyish in my youth.
Like Lisa but it seems 1960s.
Not keen on Eliza, Liza, Libby.
Betty seems a bit 1940s, but Bet is nice.
Don't like Beth. Seems vapid.

Don't like Elsie. Like Elsa but Frozen.
Lily has been done to death.
Lilibet for The Queen was cute but otherwise dreadful.

Bored of the Isabella/Isabel(le)/Isobel variants.
Elisabeth just looks wrong - apologies to any Welsh, Swedish etc Elisabeths.

Lizbeth and Elspet/Elsbeth are nice as diminutives but not keen as standalone names.

Libby
Liza
Betty

Probably Libby or Beth. Elsie is sweet. Lizzie is ok, but perhaps feels a bit dated now. I know Lily is apparently a shortening of Elizabeth, but personally I see this as a completely different name.

I love Eliza but also see this as a totally different name, due to the stress on the "eye" sound which is different to how it's said in Elizabeth (a short "ih" sound). I understand the similar origins but I wouldn't naturally shorten Elizabeth to Eliza.

Libby or Beth

Eliza.
I call my friend Betty Boo.

Libby

I know a Beth and a Lizzie.

Libby, Betty, Bess

I've been called

Lizzie
Liz
Lisa
Elizabeth
Beth

Get used to the idea that whatever you call her, you won't have control over what she becomes known as - either through her choice or her friends'. That said I love almost all the Elizabeth associated names.

My friend's Mum used to get really upset when friends and family called my friend Lizzie or Betsy because they weren't names she'd given her but as pretty as Elizabeth is, it's a gob full and bound to be shortened.

My Elizabeth is Libby.

I know an Elizabeth who is a Betsy. Very cute name!!

Forgot Betsy - I like it.

We've got a Betty and a Lizzie.

Lizzie

Beth

Lizzie and Betty

I have an Elizabeth and she is known mainly as Lizzy but we also call her as nicknames Lizzybet, Lizzy-Lou and Eliza. I loved Elizabeth and had no intention to shorten it but she arrived and looked like a Lizzy and that was that.

Libby
Eliza
Beth

Libby is my favourite too
followed by Beth
Lizzie is my least favourite

The youngest Elizabeth I know is BiBi.

I have an Elizabeth. Didn’t like Lizzie, at all, so told people she would be Beth. This lasted approximately 10 hours until I returned home, showed her to my older children. DS called her Lizzie. She’s been Lizzie ever since. It suits her, tbh.

I did say this to a friend, who responded, “But you couldn’t have called her Beth. She takes pages to die.”

Elsie or Beth.

Beth, Betsy, Bess and Betty are my favs.

Going to be a pendant here too, my dd has a name which like Elizabeth has a few diminutives, but she had a few ' nicknames ' over the years i.e. pumpkin being one - which was more a term of endearment.

but why name a child one thing and actually want a diminutive for the name - just name the child Liz or whatever.

p.a. Elizabeth would have been the name of my 2nd daughter if I had one.
