NN for Elizabeth

ciennah99

What is your favorite nickname for Elizabeth? Husband likes the name but I tend to like shorter names so just wondering which nickname people like best. I don't know how to do a poll so just tell me which one you like. I'm open to all suggestions. thanks!

I too love Beth and Betty. I also love Birdie, which is a bit quirkier.

I went to school with a girl who went by Libby. Always thought it was super cute.

Liz or Beth.

My sister is Elizabeth and tried out a lot over the years Lizzy of all the various spellings (best was Lizi with hearts over the i's), Eliza Jane (her mn is Jane), Beth, and ended up at Liz. Ellie is a pretty common nn for Elizabeth now. I have a niece who is just Elizabeth so far. The options are endless, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it

I love Libby. And Bess is uncommon and cute.

I love Libby! My #1 girl name right now is Elizabeth NN Libby. I think it's so cute and fresh. I also like Bess.

Thanks all! I like some of the less common ones since we know several Elizabeths who are either Beths or Liz. Husband already nixed Betty, Bette & Liza (he's so picky!). Maybe he'll agree to Libby. He didn't say no to Lizzy but I like Libby better. We already have an Ellie in the family. But if we do name her Elizabeth I can prob give her whatever NN I want, not like he can change her name after the fact! Hehe, we'll find something we both agree on.

Betsy and Birdie

Love Betsy and Libby the best also Beth is cute and under used for this generation.......we have an Elizabeth in the family and we call her Lizzy-Bethy often but away from home she is Beth. (A cute story is.....when she was 2years old and was learning to talk, she couldn't pronounce her name very well......she said, " Wissa-buts" well we still sometimes call her Whistle-butt)

Libby is my fave!

I'm an Elizabeth who has always gone by Libby.  My mom said she was concerned that I would grow up and think Libby was a kids name.  For me that has never been true.  Briefly in college I tried to go by Elizabeth but it was like trying to be a different person.  LIbby has always been good to me.

I know a few Elizabeth's that go by Lizzy/Lizzie. I've also known one that went by Beth, and a Libby.

Different name, but I also know an Elisabeth that goes by Elise.

I like Bess - a little old fashioned but most likely won't be Bess #4 for her whole life. Unlike Liz or Lizzie

I love love love Libby. I sometimes wish my parents had used Elizabeth as my first name instead of one of two middle names. Unfortunately it won't be used for a LO for us. I don't like the idea of naming a child after myself (even though it's a family name, sort of) and with a 16 letter, 3 syllable last name, long names are out.

I'm an Elizabeth that has always used my full name and love it. I have exactly one friend that calls me Liz. I've never liked the NN, but she's been around for so long it has stuck and isn't going anywhere! And I have an aunt that calls me Bessie. More of just a term of endearment than an actual NN. But it is a great name for NNs. Libby and Bess are my favorites.

Liza or Beth.

I'm the 5 Elizabeth in my family. The nick names we have so far are:

Betty, Lisa, Beth, Liza-Beth, and Lizzie =D

Edited to add: I'm the Beth and my younger cousins call me Bess or Bosch (like the tools) because they can't prononce it at first. lol
