HelpRe: Eliza
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
Well, as long as you don't have a daughter named Eliza Elisabeth, I think it is fine. I also would steer clear of a daughter Eliza and a daughter Elizabeth. If you had say, a Mary Elizabeth and a Eliza Jane, it could work out quite well (ie one as a middle name and the other as a first, or even both as middle names would work well).
I think Eliza is a great name. It has great connection with literature and popular culture, such as with Eliza Doolittle of My Fair Lady and Eliza Bennett of Pride and Prejudice.

Yes, I know that her name was Elizabeth, and I also know she went by Lizzy/Lizzie but there are also portions in the book in which she is referred to as Eliza Bennett. I just read it.
Keep in mind that I am reading the original edited version of the book and not subsequent re-writings. Perhaps in your version they have removed that diminutive.

LMS is right, she is repeatedly referred to as Eliza by Miss Bingley for example.

I'd only use nicknames / full names that are similar in meaning as a first name for one / middle name for another or both for middle names.
