Nickname for Elizabeth



  • Elise
  • Ellie
  • Betsy
  • Emma (full name Elizabeth Marie - family names)
  • Bettina (full name Elizabeth Christine - family names)
  • Libby
  • Eliza
  • She'll be the 5th Elizabeth in a row (me, my mom, grandmother, etc.)

  • My nn is Beth, mom & g-mother are Betty, so I don't want either of those

I'm a little bit biased, but I like "Betsy" the best. However, it might be a little too close to "Betty," and that might be confusing. I also like "Libby" and "Eliza." "Ellie" and "Emma" are insanely common these days. Have you considered "Elsie?" It has a similar feel without being overly common.

Just wanted to thrown in that my cousin is named Elizabteh and she goes by Lisa (pronounced Lee-Suh - just how it looks.)

I'm considering Elizabeth for my childs name as well, but decided against all nicknames personally......
