On the computer screen, I love the way it looks spelled Elisabeth. But having written it for the last 20 years, I like it better spelled Elizabeth. Maybe habit, maybe not.

:o)

GREAT name, if I do say so myself.

I prefer the traditional/original spelling of Elisabeth over the more common Elizabeth (did you know that Elizabeth Tudor is the one who developed this spelling?)..to me the S makes it a softer and prettier name...

I like Elizabeth better. Elisabeth is one of my middle names. While I like my middle name, I wish it had been spelled Elizabeth so I didn't have to spelll it for everyone!

On the SSA lists, Elizabeth is at #9 and Elisabeth is at #422 for 2003. So if you want the more unusual of the two.. Elisabeth is the way to go!
