There are soooo many nicknames that come from [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
What are the best you’ve ever heard? Worst? Most creative? If you had to pick one, what would it be? (And maybe toss a nickname in just for fun!)
I think it might depend on the personality of the [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as to which nn I prefer or whethe I use one at all, but I have quite a few on my list (as full names):
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Liza[/name_f] (I like [name_m]Ly[/name_m]-zuh and [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-zuh)
[name_u]Lisa[/name_u]
[name_u]Abby[/name_u]
My favourites are [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_f]Libby[/name_f], so I’d probably go for one of those.
My favorites are [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I haven’t met many super weird ones, I do know one who goes by Bit
I love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] in full more than any of the nicknames, but if I were to use one I’d pick [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]. You could also use [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lise[/name_f], [name_f]Bette[/name_f] (pronounced either “bet” or “betty”) or [name_f]Bess[/name_f]. All the Elizabeths I’ve known in real life have gone by [name_f]Liz[/name_f] or [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] though.
My favourites are [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] (with the nicknames for that nickname being [name_f]Lili[/name_f] or [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]), [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Zetta[/name_f]/[name_f]Etta[/name_f], Zabette and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and if I had an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], I would refer to her as all of these, I do not at all like [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f] I think that’s the worst one and it’s the most common and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is just bleugh, thoroughly dislike both of them. [name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Liza[/name_f] etc are all cute as well but I far prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]'s less common ones.
My favourite is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ebba[/name_f], but I also like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Bette[/name_f].
My favourite is [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]!! I also quite like [name_f]Beth[/name_f]. Not a fan of [name_f]Liz[/name_f], [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] (though I don’t hate this one), [name_f]Libby[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]… so basically all the common ones. I like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_u]Izzy[/name_u], [name_f]Bee[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] also :).
I love the retro [name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] and [name_f]Beth[/name_f]. [name_f]Liz[/name_f] is also wonderful as it’s so versitile, I like this one especially for an adult. [name_f]Libby[/name_f] is such a sweet and friendly nickname, so I like this one, too. And the I also really like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or [name_f]El[/name_f] as a more unexpected choice (I feel like I haven’t heard many of either as a nickname for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]).
For [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] I also like [name_f]Elise[/name_f] & [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
My least favourite would be [name_f]Liza[/name_f] or [name_u]Lisa[/name_u].
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f], [name_f]Beth[/name_f].
My favourites are [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f], and Zazie.
I’m trying to think of some of the less obvious nicknames- [name_f]Elise[/name_f]/[name_f]Elisa[/name_f], [name_f]Liese[/name_f]/[name_f]Lise[/name_f], Liss/Lissy, [name_f]Libby[/name_f], Liddy, [name_f]Biddy[/name_f], [name_f]Buffy[/name_f], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Lizbeth[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f]/[name_f]Bessie[/name_f], [name_f]Bette[/name_f]/[name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]/[name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]/[name_f]Izzie[/name_f], Biz/[name_f]Bizzy[/name_f], [name_f]Babette[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f]/[name_f]Tessie[/name_f].
My favorites are [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Tessie[/name_f], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or just simply going by the full name [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Libby[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] are my favorites. But I do prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] in full.
My favourites are [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] and [name_f]Bette[/name_f] (either pronounced as [name_f]Bet[/name_f] or [name_f]Bette[/name_f]). All if the Elizabeths I’ve ever known have gone by [name_f]Liz[/name_f] or [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f]/[name_f]Lizzy[/name_f] so I get a bit bored of them. It’s amazing how few Elizabeths go by [name_f]Beth[/name_f] when it’s one of the more obvious ones too.
I love [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] I think it’s really sweet and [name_f]Bessie[/name_f] 
I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
[name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]/ [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] are good although not my favorites .
I adore [name_f]Bee[/name_f] and I like [name_f]Tess[/name_f] , [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is classic and elegant without being haughty.
I have recently come to like [name_f]Betty[/name_f] . I think it’s one of the vintage names I can see on a teenage girl like I can with [name_f]Agatha[/name_f]. The show Riverdale probably helps.
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]/ [name_f]Betsi[/name_f] I have mixed feelings about for several reasons including a cousin of mine who had the nickname but passed away in her 20’s . Of course it can be a way to honor someone .
My favourite used to be [name_f]Bess[/name_f], but the “Good [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Bess[/name_f]” association has been bothering me lately, since there are lots of things that disturb me about [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] I’s reign, especially since it’s often considered a [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Age.
So at the moment I would prefer [name_f]Betty[/name_f] or maybe [name_f]Bethan[/name_f]. [name_f]Elspie[/name_f] for [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] for [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] are also gorgeous.
I love Lillibet, [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Bitsy[/name_f]/Bit, and [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f].
Obviously my favorite [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nickname is [name_f]Libby[/name_f]
I also like [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Zibby[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], and [name_f]Betty[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but it’s a bit of a mouthful for a nickname, 3 syllables, and so I think it easily turns into [name_f]Liza[/name_f] instead, which is not my favorite
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] are nice but are a bit overused, since they are nicknames for all [name_f]El[/name_f]- names and are also used as full names
My least favorite nicknames are [name_f]Liz[/name_f], [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f], and [name_f]Beth[/name_f] – these aren’t fresh, they sound like an older women to me, not a child or young woman
I assume an [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] is an [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and that a [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is a [name_f]Theresa[/name_f]/[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] – I wouldn’t expect an [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] or a [name_f]Tess[/name_f] to be an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] is cute
