My absolute favorites are Bessie, Elsie, and Libby (because of their sounds and looks). Betty is a wonderful nickname for Elizabeth, although it doesn't quite strike me as much as the nicknames I mentioned earlier, and I think of Betty Boop when I hear this name, she isn't that much of a bad association. I've never met a Lisa in my entire life, I'd imagine Lisa to be an intelligent mom. Lizzie sounds very vintage and popular, I'd imagine Lizzie to be a hardworking maid in 1850's Britain. I think Beth is my least favorite nickname for Elizabeth. First of all, it sounds like someone with a lisp trying to say Bess. Second of all, it sounds childish. Last, it's short, I normally like short names, but Beth is an exception. I have mixed opinions about Beth. I like Liesl, it sounds good and I have a hunch that it still could be used in the USA. I love Ellie! But I don't like Elly. Elly is very infantile and childish while Ellie is vintage and mature.
