HelpRe: Names We Love... and the Nicknames We Hate!! (ETA to add Alexander!)
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
Elizabeth. I love the name itself and I've come up with a combo (Elizabeth Mary, or Elizabeth Rosemary) but I don't think I would ever use a nickname for it. The only one that makes sense to me is Lizzie even though the ones that I like such as Elise, Lisa, Beth, Elspeth, etc. just don't make sense as a nickname for Elizabeth. So I'd probably just use Elizabeth if I ever came around to it.
ETA: Alexander! I love how romantic it sounds in full, but I couldn't bear to call my son Alex, or Xander or anything! I could consider calling him "Sandy" as a pet name, but I all the Alexanders/Alexandras I have ever known have been called Alex or Alexa or some other nickname. That's why I love it in the middle name spot (Noam Alexander).
