I adore this! I have a great aunt Eliza Jane who was nicknamed Jeannie and also Eliza May a very distant ancestor via marriage

I'm really not one for "ordinary" names, but I love Eliza. I don't think I've ever actually met one, though? But it just seems spunky and happy and I love it.

It's in my family tree several times as a full name, and it's grown on me too. I prefer it to Elizabeth and most of the other nns for Elizabeth, and in fact the only con I can think of is that people would probably assume it was short for Elizabeth.

---

The family combos are Eliza Rosetta, Eliza Amelia, Eliza Jane and Eliza Florence. I also like Eliza Lucy and Eliza Susanna.

I generally don't care for the long 'i' sound in names. The only exception for me is Caroline. And also, Eliza is strictly a nick to me for Elizabeth. Finally, there's something about Eliza that seems so unsophisticated yet snooty at the same time. I much prefer the softer sounding Elisa.

---

Overall, Eliza is pretty fresh and ripe for renewal.

I think it's lovely. It's not too popular, yet it's still a familiar name for many people, so I don't think it would be mispronounced very often.

I like it, it's spunky yet refined.

I don't like it all that much. I would like it better if it was just a nickname for Elizabeth.

I think it's really cute. There is an Eliza in my son's kindergarten class and she's made me like the name a lot.

I like it as a nickname for Elizabeth, but not on its own.

I prefer Elisa, and I like it pronounced Eh-lee-sa rather than Eh-lay-za.

I love Eliza, it's unfortunately unusable for me because it was the main character's name in a weird 90's cartoon.

I like it. It has a very retro feel to it, it's spunky, yet classy. Very nice!

Pro: the freshest current version of Elizabeth
Con: Doolittle, I suppose!
Turn of the 20th century names work well:
Eliza Harriet
Eliza Olive
Eliza Muriel
Eliza Florence, even.

Love it.

Really fresh and pretty without being overly common. Also has a great retro vibe without being dated or stale.
