My middle name is Elizabeth and since my first name is Sarah its so common i've been wanting to go by Elizabeth. Eli (said like Ellie) was the first nn i LOVED! but i also like Liza, Eliza, and Lizzie. I can't stand Beth or Liz though.

It definitely works, although I prefer Eleanor as a full name for Ellie. My fav Elisabeth nns are Bess or Libby

Sure it could work. It's my fave nick for Elizabeth too. My fave Elizabeth combo is Elizabeth Eve. I also like Elizabeth Juliet.

I absolutely love it! I would name my daughter that, however my name is Kelley and the names are almost exactly the same. My second favorite nickname would be Eliza.

I've known at least 3 little girls called Ellie who were short for Elizabeth (they'd all be probably around 10-13 now). Maybe it's a New England thing, but Elizabeth is very popular here, and so people are always finding "new" nns for it. My favorite nn for Elizabeth is Bess. I also like Liza.

I think it's fine, I know an Elizabeth nn Ellie.

I like it. I'd also like it spelled Eli.
I'm friends with an Elizabeth "Izzy" and I know a few Elizabeths "Liz".
My friend is friends with a Canadian Elizabeth who goes by Eli (but it isn't pronounced "Ellie", it's pronounced like the boys name Eli.) At first I thought that was strange, but it's grown on me.
Elsa and Elsie are cute and pretty, but I think they only suit certain people. Also Elise.
I also know a young Eliza-- I'm not sure if it's her full name or short for Elizabeth. Her siblings have short names (Liam and Emma), so it's probably just Eliza...
Oh, and I've also met a total of ONE Elizabeth my age who goes by "Beth". And there is one my mom's age who goes by Betsy / Betsey.

My mn is Elizabeth and they called me "little bit", "Bee", and "first name Beth", when I was little, there are lots of options for Elizabeth and I think Ellie works well!

It works, and I think it's a great nickname.

It definitely works. I change my favorite constantly. I usually just go with Lizzie.

It's fine - but I think it wastes the other nns that are unique to Elizabeth:
Libby is my favourite but Betsy is cute.
The French Lisette is pretty for Elisabeth but Lizette reminds me of Lizard.
Eliza is too Dolittlish for me but there was a nn for that in the 19th century that seems surprisingly modern - Lylie (shades of Kylie!)

Yes Elie could easily work as could Ella

My favourites are Libby and Beth or Bethan
