Bethy is okay. At least it makes a lot of sense. I hate far fetched nicknames for it such as Lily. I understand that hundreds of years ago when there were so many Elizabeths you had to use any nickname you could think of to tell them all apart. But Elizabeth nn Lily, Mary nn Mamie or Margaret nn Greta don't make sense to me these days, might as well just use Greta, Mamie and Lily.

Hmmm, no I am not a huge nickname person. I like Jessie on its own but that is about it. Actually, now that you say it, I think I wouldn't use a nickname at all for any of my favorites which are:

---

Lily - no
Maia - no
Annabel - no
Luana - no
Finn - no
Cormac - no, but he might occasionally become Mac
Oisín - maybe Osh sometimes?
Finlay - okay, he's often be Finn
Fionn - no
Oliver - no, even though sometimes Ollie maybe
Edmund - okay here I like Teddy for a baby, young child
Eilonwy - maybe Eila or Eily sometimes, but not really often
Elinor - no

I guess I am not a huge nickname person. But Eily would be the weirdest I guess but I'd only use it sometimes.
