so I started this story the other day with this character named [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], she mostly goes by [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and I refer to her as [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] while writing, but in her family there are several nicknames she goes by. [name_f]Beth[/name_f], Bethie, and [name_f]Effie[/name_f]. I really love the nickname [name_f]Effie[/name_f] but I don’t know if it works as a nickname for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
some back story on it, her parents were quite young when she was born (her dad was 15, and her mom was 14. her mom died giving birth to her though so she grew up around her dads family who are for the lack of better words really screwed up), and so her Aunt gave her the nickname Bethie, and her Uncle, (her Aunt and Uncle are twins and were six at the time) who couldn’t pronounce Bethie at the time, gave her the nickname [name_f]Effie[/name_f]. so I think it works, but I’m not sure
