My SIL is named Elizabeth but has always gone by Betsy. She is only 18 and I think her name sounds so old lady-ish especially for her age. She looks so much more like an Elizabeth. We named our daughters middle name Elizabeth after her. By using it as a middle name it will never get turned into "Betsy".
I like the name Betsy and I have only known 1 in my 33 years. I personally don't care for NN's so I would stick with Betsy. But I do love the name Elisabeth.

(How's that???)
I would of course name her Elizabeth and use Betsy as the nn.
