Re: Elizabeth....Nicknames and Thoughts.
in reply to a message by Rachel
I adore Elsa and Elsie as nns for Elizabeth. They are not most people's cup of tea. But I find them darling.
Other than that, I like:
Lee, Lilibet, Bess, Bessie, Betsy, Lisette and Libby
Have you ever read / seen "Cousin Bette?" It's a deliciously catty / gossipy novel by Balzac. The main character, Bette, is not very nice. But the whole atmosphere of the book and Parisian society made me warm to the name.
