HelpNeed help with a nickname...Edited
I am writing a story and need help with a nickname for the name Elizabeth. (Using Elizabeth itself is out of the question because there is another character named Elizabeth as well and it would be confusing for the reader.) The story is set in the 17th century. Which of the following nicknames for Elizabeth do you like best? (Please keep the time period in mind.) If you think of any others feel free to suggest them, thanks!
Eliza
Liza
Beth
Betty
Betsy
Lizzie
Liz
Ellie
Abby (too much of a stretch? the ab is there in the name though...)
Libby
Bess
Bessie
Buffy
Elsie
Tetty
Izzy
Lilibeth
Edited to add some more choices.

Ellie definitely gets my vote...I think it's such a sweet nickname for Elizabeth.
Abby seems like a bit of a stretch, but I really like the name, itself.
Elsie and Lilibeth are cute, though I prefer the sp Lily Beth.
Ella is another nickname I really like.
