My Betsy is an Elizabeth. I have gotten nothing but positive comments about her name. People just seem to light up when I say her name is Betsy. Interestingly, they also seem to not know it's a nickname for Elizabeth. Every once in a while, people will think I say Becky when I say Betsy. But I just correct them right away. The only person who only calls her Elizabeth is sMIL, but we think she just doesn't like Betsy.
My Carly is a Caroline. That really confuses people.
I do sometimes forget about their formal names so when the pedi's nurse calls for Elizabeth or Caroline, I look around the waiting room, like who is that? And I'm the only one there! LOL

Love it!
Caroline is actually on a short list too (my mom is Carol).
