It's lovely. My partner always thinks of Eliza Doolittle though. I think of Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice tho - whose name is often shortened to Eliza. Beautiful, IMHO.

Obviously it's a fantastic name. ;)

I think Doolittle.

It's my nieces middle name, very pretty but does make me think of My Fair Lady

My name is Eliza - and I am grateful to ma & pa - I love it, and always have!

I don't think it's "twee". If anything negative needed to be said I would say "old fashioned, bordering on trying to be trendy".

It's also my DD's middle name and was very nearly her first name (main point of contention being an abbreviation we both liked) and if hypothetical DC2 is a girl I will regret not saving it.

love it.

Great name. Better than any other Elizabeth related names, IMO.
