Input and more Ideas

Me and my hubby are thinking about naming our daughter after me, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but I’m not sure if I maybe want to do a variation of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and do [name_f]Elizabetta[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Lisabet[/name_f]. I can’t decide what I like the most. We are also considering the name [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], but my husband wants a longer version. He does not like [name_f]Lilibeth[/name_f], and we can’t think of anymore. Any input or ideas would be helpful :slight_smile:

There are so many variations of that name…

here you got 10 more pages of international variations: International Variations of Elizabeth | Nameberry.

If you want more a unique variation or nickname? here I got a little list… Personally I like Izzy, Zaza and Lysbeth but just try some names from the list with your hubby and look what style you like the most. Maybe one of you got a European heritage and use a variation from that country?

I love the variation [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], I’m not sure if you’ve already considered that one or not. When it comes to [name_f]Lily[/name_f], my favorite longer version are [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
