HelpRe: Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Perrine
1. I prefer Elisabeth: it's more familiar form and softer looking to me.
2. Elsi(e), Lil(l)i, Beth, Betty or Betsy.
3. Elisa, Elise, Elsa, Elsi, Lilian, Liisi.
4. When it comes to Elisabet(h), it is more common as a middle name: Finns seem to prefer the short forms of the name as a first name, such as Liisa, Elisa, Ella and Elsa. When I come across it here as someone's first name, I would assume the bearer is either of older generation, Swedish speaker or from a religious family.
5. Depends on the whole combo. For example, Ava Elizabeth is boring to me, but Alfhild Elisabeth not so much. As a evergreen classic, Elizabeth/Elisabeth is a perfect pair for rarer first names.
