Definitely Betsy. (m)

It's classic yet youthful and quirky and artsy. Betsy would stand apart in today's crowd of babes. It's definitely ripe for revival. In fact, Anna might have been Elizabeth (nn Betsy) had our surname not began with B.
OTOH, I heartily dislike Betty (and that's putting it mildly). It's just so dated and everybody knows several. I also find it rather frumpy, perpetually old and quite uninteresting. Odd, I know, that the two nicks are so similar and my feelings for Betsy are the polar opposite of the ones I have for Betty.
Current fave nns for Elizabeth: Bess and Ellie.
