I prefer it spelled Lilybet, which is how I first discovered it years ago in my second-oldest name book. With the Y, it looks less like a nickname to me. I think I'd use it as a middle name, if I used it--something like
Marie Lilybet.
(And don't worry about the
Elizabeth II versus
Elizabeth I. I remember some very, very pretentious people on another board who thought it was
Elizabeth I who went as Lilibet. Silly creatures--and they wouldn't admit when they were wrong.)
