HelpRe: Elizabeth
in reply to a message by hennig
It's well-used, but I wouldn't say over-used. I love it, it's such a classic. And very, very pretty. I prefer Elisabeth but Elizabeth is almost as nice.
My favourite nns are Beth and Bess, although I love Elsie and Elsa too (my great-grandmother was an Elsa). I don't like Libby - too much like baby-talk - and I find Eliza, Liza, Liz and Lizzie too harsh (although I like Lizzy for the Pride & Prejudice connection). Bessie and Betsy are a little too babyish in the long term. Ellie is good.
