So I just met a woman, probably mid-twenties, whose full name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but she goes by “Biz.” It took me by surprise, I’d never met someone who used that nickname; I didn’t even know it was an option. But it really made her stand out in a world full of [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f]'s, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]'s and [name_f]Beth[/name_f]'s. What’s the most distinctive nickname you’ve heard for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]?
Lylie pr [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] love this
[name_f]Lizbet[/name_f]
[name_f]Talie[/name_f] pr ta-lee I knew a [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] who went by this
[name_f]Bessie[/name_f]

Liddy is my all-time favourite.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite more unusual nicknames for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would probably have to be [name_f]Buffy[/name_f] and [name_f]Effie[/name_f].
Zabette is my fave

I know an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] who goes by [name_f]Zibby[/name_f]
Wow! So many more than I thought there would be, thanks for all your insight! I’d never thought of [name_f]Betsan[/name_f] or [name_f]Zibby[/name_f], but now they look really cool! It makes me want to use this classic name that much more.
I know of a young woman named [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Biz…” wonder if it’s the same one. 
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Zibby[/name_f].
