Elizabeth's nickname

[Biniverse]

What's your favorite nickname for Elizabeth?

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

Lizzie or Libby.

I've also known Liz, Beth, Buffy.

I like Lib or Libby. My Aunt was a Betty and a friend is Lizzie.

I love Lizzie and I think it suits a teen. My DD middle name is Elizabeth and I call her Lizzie sometimes. I also like Eliza.

Buff and Buffy
Lizzy

I'm an Elizabeth and I'm known as Lizzie. To me Lizzie sounds friendly (I can't bear Liz for some reason). Though lots of people have told me that Lizzie "sounds silly" and refused to use it!

My mum and sister have called me Lizbeth and Elspeth and I had a boyfriend who insisted on Beth which was a bit weird and didn't seem like my name at all.

My daughter has Elizabeth May as middle names and one of her nicknames is Betty May, my husband started it, not sure why.

I like the full name but being called it makes me feel like I'm being told off at school or attending a medical appointment!

Lizzie or Betty

Betty or Lizzie

With a name like Elizabeth the parents don't really get to choose. My sister is Elizabeth and always introduces herself as Elizabeth and yet literally within seconds people she has never met before are calling her Liz as though they simply did not hear what she said. She finds it intensely irritating (although she realises most people are simply trying to be friendly). Just resign yourself to the fact that you can call her what you like at home but you can't control what she is called by others.
My own DD has a name that doesn't have an obvious shortened form but her school friends managed to come up with one and that is what a lot of people now call her. I absolutely hate it but I just have to grit my teeth and smile.
I really don't get this current obsession with parents choosing a "nickname" (by which people usually seem to mean a diminutive or shortened form). Nicknames develop naturally - they can't be imposed by parents outside the home.

Libby

I agree with all of this.

Beth, Eliza, Bess or possibly Libby are all lovely.

Ahem, pedant alert, it's actually a diminutive, not a nickname, as it comes from shortening the actual name. A nickname could be anything, like, I don't know, 'Freckles', or 'Bunny'.

My Elizabeth is a Libby but I prefer Birdie. If I’d known it was an acceptable nickname for Elizabeth I’d have called her that. Although she has told me she’d have hated it 🤣

Libby

Elizabeth is a beautiful name. I like Eliza, Beth, Ella, Elsie, Elle, Liza, Bibi.

It's the most versatile name.

I like the late Queens nickname, Lilibet.

Since I read the Chalet School books many moons ago I have liked Elisaveta as a name.

Ellie, Eliza, Beth

Cute and modern Bizzy (instead of more commonplace Lizzie) or old fashioned Bess (as in Elizabeth I “Good Queen Bess” ) .I also think trendy Effie sounds quite cool (like the character in TV’s Skins).

Sorry I couldn’t decide on just one - Elizabeth is such a fab name, partly because of all the nickname options but also as it’s the ultimate timeless classic with some amazing historical namesakes.

My little one is Elizabeth my plan was her nickname to be Beth or Betty but she is now 3 and everyone calls her Lizzie , that's her favourite 🤩

Queenie.

Libby, Betsy or Betty

I like Lizzie.

I knew a French Elisabeth who was known as Babette, just to throw that out there.

Lillibet I got called

I'm an Elizabeth and its Lizzie for me. Chose it when I was 11! And been that ever since. I still like it!!
