Lilibet

I recently watched an old movie (Rockabye, 1932) and there was an adorable little girl with blonde curls and chubby cheeks and this was her name (spelled Lilybet) and I instantly fell in love! It has a definite fairy tale, whimsical sound to it but the relation to the traditional Elizabeth keeps it from seeming made up (in my opinion anyway). And it as great nicknames! Lili, Lil, Libby, Lettie, Betty, Betsy and maybe Billie.

Ok, I don't really care what the royal family names their children. Lilibet is a nice name.

This is awful. Like a child trying to pronounce Elizabeth.

I am no Meghan and Harry hater (or fan), or Queen Elizabeth hater (or fan) but I think this name wouldn't suit the average girl. I associate it with Meghan Markle, Harry (and now associate him with his peculiar book and unnecessary boasting of killing 25 people), and Queen Elizabeth II. It should really have just been the childhood nickname of the Queen and nothing more IMO. Lilibet almost sounds as though it was all a tiny Queen Elizabeth II could manage when trying to say her name.

I think because if its high-profile use as a celebrity’s daughter’s name and a member of the British royal family, you won’t see it become as popular as Charlotte did in the past when Kate Middleton named her daughter. It’s still a very uncommon name, which people may like. However, I still think names like “Elisabeth/Elizabeth” and “Lily/Lilly/Lillie” will be more popular overall and throughout time due to the rise in nature/botanical name usage and people still like using classic names as family namesakes.

Now that it is so strongly associated with the British royal family I don't find it very usable anymore. Not that it was that usable in the first place, it sounds like baby talk for Elizabeth.

But it reminds me of those people who are completely obsessed with the royal family and have the Queen's portrait on their living room wall, buy lots of expensive merchandise, happily wave to them whenever they appear in public and always pick up the latest gossip magazines and dream of one day marrying into the family.

It reminds me of people who do not realize that they make millions of pounds per year which they take out of the tax payer's pocket and which could be used to feed every poor person in Britain.

I think it will rise for one or two years, just like Charlotte did, and then drop like a rock. I am speaking about the popularity in the UK. Charlotte rose after the princess was born but then quickly fell again.

I also get a feeling that the entire royal family (not just Meghan and Harry but also the Queen, Charles, Kate etc.) are somewhat falling out of favor and aren't as popular anymore. But I could be wrong, of course.

Sounds like someone saying "little bit" with a mouth full of food.

It sounds like a toddler trying to pronounce Elizabeth. Terrible as a given name.

SO much better than Lily Bet.

I agree with the previous comment!

I love this name!
It makes me think of a butterfly: It is so melodious, light and bright with a lovely vintage vibe. I came across it when I read my first book about Queen Elizabeth II. As there are a lot of Elizabeths here and there I think this is beautiful and refreshing. A lovely, classic full name.

I think this is a lovely, sweet name. Comparing it to the modern likes of Mackenzie, Brinley, and Paisley, I don't think Lilibet stands out as being babyish in the least. It's beautiful, unique, and classic.

This is a cute nickname for Elizabeth. I prefer Lilibeth or Lilybeth for an actual name though.

What a soppy babyish name - it was only given to the Queen because she couldn't pronounce Elizabeth as a toddler and called herself Lilibet in her attempts to do so. I don't think it was a real name, just babyspeak.
