The Creative Side of Elizabeth: More Nicknames

After all of the Lizzy's, and Bessie's, and Lisa's, and Beth's, Elizabeth has produced itself a creative side to all of these otherwise normal names. These baby names range from vintage to modern in a whole new way.
  1. Thea
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "goddess, godly"
    • Description:

      Thea is a diminutive of names ending in -thea, including Dorothea, Althea, and Anthea. It is also the Anglicized spelling of Theia, the Titan of sight, goddess of light, and mother of the moon. She was the consort of Hyperion, and mother of Helios, Selene, and Eos.
  2. Leah
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "weary"
    • Description:

      Strong but sweet, Leah is a classic name that doesn't feel dull or dusty. It's got plenty of dignity, grace, and pluck, making it a solid choice in the 21st century.

      Short form of Luzia or Terézia, Hungarian, Portuguese
    • Meaning:

      "light; harvest"
