Re: Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think it's one of the most common English names, no matter when.
I think Elizabeth with no nn is okay. I don't like Lizzie, because it sounds a little infantile. Liz is gorgeous and Ellie is kind of boring now.
I'd choose Elsie. It's cute and not as common as the other nicknames. After Elsie, I'd choose Betty.
It isn't boring. I might use it. :P
I used to know a lovely, kind librarian in her fifties with this name. However, I don't know how her name was written, since in my country four spellings of this name are used - Elizabeth, Elisabeth, Elisabet and Elizabet.
