Betsy is sweet, and I can definitely see it making a comeback. It has shown up on non-grandma types in the media in recent history (
Kirsten Dunst's character in
Dick, Kelso's daughter on
That 70s Show, etc). It's also a mainstay in children's literature, thanks to
Betsy-Tacy and Tib, so I don't really see a little
Betsy being mocked.
But as you can probably guess, I'm biased towards the name. :) I also like
Liza,
Lili, Lilybet,
Bettie, Bethy,
Elsie,
Elsa, etc. While I'm not a huge fan of
Elizabeth, I love many of its nicknames.

When the truth walks away, everybody stays--'cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay. So if you walk away, who is gonna stay? 'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place.
I'd like to leave the world as a better place.
