Lizzy or Lizzie

Right now I'm loving Elizabeth nn Lizzie or Lizzy. I think I like Lizzie more because it looks more balanced. Anyway, so any opinions or this nickname? I love Eliza also, but sometimes it seems a little uppity to me. WDYT? PS - I'm not a huge fan of the other Elizabeth nns like Bess, Bessie, Betsy, Betty, Libby etc. Although I do like Beth.

Lizzy!My little sister Elizabeth is called Lizzy. Lizzy is a wonderful nn! It's sweet and spunky at the same time.FYI, Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice is called Lizzy (this spelling).

Hmm, this is difficult. I do love '-ie' endings, but sometimes '-y' endings take the cake. I think today, I'll have to say that I like Lizzie more.I love Eliza (and Liza, too!) and think it's far from uppity. It has a 18th and 19th century English charm, and it's distinguished without being overly pretentious.

LizzieI love the name Elizabeth with the nn Lizzie. I definitely prefer the ie spelling, as it just looks nicer to my eyes. Makes me think of Pride and Prejudice, which is why I like the name and nn so much in the first place. I do also like Eliza as a nn, but prefer Lizzie.

LizzieI agree with you, it looks more balanced. I'm sad that you don't like Libby though, that's my favorite NN for Elizabeth. Beth is cute though.

LizzyLizzie isn't necessarily trendy, but it's a lot more frequent around where I live. Plus, I kinda like -y nicknames.I really like Eliza personally. I loathe Beth--such a hard sounding name.
