Well.... I happen to love the nn
Betsy. With the current old fashioned name trend, I think you'll find that
Betsy is not going to be as "out of place" as your family members think. I am 24 years old and have been called
Betsy my entire life (sometimes
Betsy Lou by my father). Only recently have I begun using
Elizabeth professionally and even my immediate co-workers still call me
Betsy. I think it is spunky, fun, and yet at the same time conveys that I am responsible and intelligent. I love my nn and am so pleased to see a "new generation"
Betsy!
