I know Eliza is pronounced with the short e in Romanian and Russian. I remember hearing an update last week on the world's oldest mother from Romania (Adriana) whose baby recently turned one year old. Her name is Eliza (ee-LEE-za). Also, Russian skater, Ekaterina Gordeeva, has a daughter, Elizaveta. She's called Liza (LEE-za) for short.

I agree with you that the short e pronunciation is prettier.
