HelpRe: Eliza
in reply to a message by LMS
Um, Ms. Bennet was not known as Eliza, she was known as Lizzie/Lizzy.
And her full name was Elizabeth.

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.
