[Opinions] Re: Betsy/Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Christine
FIRST: Her full name is gorgeous, I adore it :)
Honestly, I think of a waitress when I see the name Betsy. *Cringes* I sound so mean!
But, actually, I never though Elizabeth NEEDED a nn! It is wonderful and classic, I'm glad someone picked it as a first name finally, instead of a middle. I do love Lily, though, it's a shame it doesn't fit her- but I know exactly how that goes. When my little sis was born, my parents were pretty sure she was going to be Perry Jane, but ended up taking one look at her, and calling her Jayna Rose!
If you want a few other nn suggestions:
Beth -Classic? Maybe you just find it boring...
Bess -I love this one
Eliza -Also one of my mom's favorites, I like it a lot
Lisa -I think it's cute, but do you?
Of course, don't take anyone's word on this board TOO seriously. Whatever you call her, it's your choice. (But of course, if someone suggests something you love, fantastic score)
Anyway, congrats on your daughter, she has a lovely, classic name!
