Fourteen Shades of Elizabeth

I love the name Bessie! It’s gorgeous!

Even more options: Elisabeth, Elise, Ella, Elle, Ellie, and Ebby.

I think somebody said this a few weeks ago but would it be possible to have them all in a list on 1 page because my computer won’t let me view them like this.
Thanks

I love the name Elizabeth, and almost all of the variants. My favorite right now is Betsy, it is so cute.

I agree with the above. It can get tiring looking through the fourteen pages, especially if you have a slow connection.

I’ve long loved Betsy, although my current favorite form of Elizabeth is Beth.

Great blog! I loved so many names:)

My best friend is “Liza with a z” pronounced Lisa. It’s refreshing on the Lisa, imo. I also think Lilly is a cute nickname for Elizabeth as well as Elle/Ellie/Nelle, Nelly and a friend of the family, EBee, a possible alternative to Evie

Elizabeth is one of my all time favorite names. I think partly because of it being used for a little girl in one of the Anne of Green Gables books, the little girl named Elizabeth went by a different nick name depending on how she was feeling that day, and I always loved that!

Elizabeth is my middle. I wanted to be called Ellie as a teen-ager, but i felt like my first name was pretty much stuck at that point (for better or worse). I love Bess, Libby, Bette, Eliza. Hate Beth. I would love to see a post about other versatile names like Margaret perhaps.

This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Elizabeth so much. It is just so versatile and the ultimate classic name, with so many famous bearers over the centuries, and each one is a completely different type of girl/woman! If I ever have my own daughter named Elizabeth, I would try to always call her by her full name, however, as it is just so beautiful spoken aloud. But the nicknames I especially like from your list are Lizzie, Eliza, Bessie and Elsie. Thanks for the highlight of one of my favorite names! Keep it classic and pick a name like Elizabeth for your child!!

Also, forgot to say — you didn’t mention the greatest literary Elizabeth – Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, who was Elizabeth most of the time, but Eliza in society, and, to those who loved her most, Lizzie.

Elisabeth is one of my favorites for a girl. Betsy, Bessie, and Essie are my favorite nicknames for the name.

@stairwaytoastar: I was also going to mention my dear Miss Eliza Bennet! She is my fav Elizabeth of all time. I love Elizabeth so much…if we ever have another bebe, I may just use it for a fn. Lizzie and Eliza are my fav nns for it, a la Elizabeth Bennet, but I love the whole name so very much!! Ps I didn’t know the queen was nn’d Lilibet…thats really cute since its based on her own childish misprn.

I went through these hoping to find a Lulu, but was disappointed. My younger sister is named Elizabeth, and we’ve been calling her Lulu as long as I can remember.
My favorites of these have to be Lillibet and Beth, other than Lulu, of course.

No love for Tibby? I had a friend in school named Tybie, just Tybie. Not sure how Elizabeth morphs into it (like Sookie from Susan?) but I still have a fondness for it.

Betsy is just so stinkin cute, it’s my fave from the list.

What about Bethyn, Bethy, Ela with only one l and the Gothic sounding Lilith?

I also go with the request for a list on page 1 as I use my laptop on zoom, which causes the slides to jump around when I select ‘next’.

My favourites are Eliza (my favourite name EVER!) Lilibet and Liza!

I’m very disappionted that my own short form of Elizabeth, Ellie, wasn’t mentioned!!

My name is Elizabeth. I love it. There are so many more nicknames than what is listed. My one Dad’s friend calls me Elesbee. It’s cute. I go by Liz, Lizzy, Lizzi, Eliza and Lisa and at work and my family I go by full name it is so beautiful after all. Elizabeth. and it is easy actually is easy to spell for a 9 letter long name. It is going to be my daughter’s middle name.

I met an Elizabeth who went by the nickname Biz. I thought it was so cool and spunky sounding, which matched her personality really well. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but I thought it was a great name!

I love the nicknames Liz/Lizzie, Betty, and Bess.
All of the Elizabeth/Elisabeth-s I know go by their full name, but one is sometimes called Izzy.

I love Lizzy the way Elizabeth Bennet spells it. If I ever have a daughter that’s what I want to call her.

Elizabeth is such a golden opportunity for nicknames that make my head spin! I’m quite fond of Eliza, and Libby/Liddy… more on the side of Liddy than Libby, for whatever reason it feels more mature to me. I like Betty’s vintage flair, as well as Bette’s, and Betsy has become more appealing, too.
