I love Elizabeth as well, especially the spelling Elisabeth. I would use the nickname Ellie. I know several women with the first name Elizabeth, and even more with the middle name Elizabeth. Many go by Liz or Beth. My sister is Elizabeth, but goes by her middle name. Most of the Elizabeths I know are between 18 and 25, but I know older ones too.

I believe all of them go by nicknames, but I don't think it's too unwieldy to use without a nickname. It seems to me though, that if you dislike a particular nickname, you should at least use a short form you like from time to time. Then at least she'll have a starting point once she gets to school.
