But...isn't Betty a nickname?

I could be wrong, but I thought one of your favorite names was Betty, which is a nickname for Elizabeth.

I took the comment as

nicknames taking away from the original name of your choice, not the original name from which the nickname comes.

Makes perfect sense to me, if so.

Yes.

Yeah, I found this comment funny too. She's said plenty of times Betty would not be short for Elizabeth.

But isn't Betty her grandmother's name and it would be after her grandma? I could be wrong.
