I won't be having kids for a very long time, but if I ever have a daughter her name will be Eliza, nickname Lizzie (with the middle name Jo). I definitely recommend it.
This nickname is so adorable for this name but now whoever names their daughter Elizabeth only uses Lizzie. What about Eliza? Eliza is so cute! But I do think this name is adorable but I'm just sayin'.
Cute nickname for Elizabeth, one of my favorites along with Ellie and Bessie, though it's not nearly formal enough to be considered as a full name. I like this spelling much more than Lizzy, that just looks ugly to me for some reason.

Lizzie reminds me of a person who is not intelligent enough to be called Elizabeth.
I think the name Lizzie is a great name. It means that a person with a formal name can change it to suit them. If I'm introduced to a Lizzie an image of a girl with bright eyes and is naturally hyper comes to mind, who isn't put down very easily and is very chatty. I always think of a girl with short, blonde, frizzy hair, I don't know why. But the name does sound energetic and bouncy.
Lizzie is my name, short for Elizabeth, but my best friend recently suggested I spell it with only one 'Z' which I now do. It's fun, because people never know how it's spelt first up. I found that at my old, Anglican school I was the only Lizzie in grade, whereas at my new Catholic school there's about 5 or 6 of us!
Bad namesakes aside, I find this name cute. As a diminutive of Elizabeth, it gets to ride on the regal impression I have of it - as if it were meant for a cute little princess (or gentle, witty girl) in her childhood who hasn't matured enough to fit her full-fledged name.
I LOVE the name Lizzie! If I ever changed my name it would be to Lizzie. I told a kid that was my name once and he believed me because he knew it started with L. I don't think it suits older people though, once people get older they should change it.
