Elizabeth - too old-fashioned?
| Fri, 07-01-2005 - 8:06pm |
Lately I've been tossing around the idea of naming my dd Elizabeth, but I'm wondering if that is too old-fashioned? If I did use Elizabeth, I would use the nickname Ellie.
Are there any other girl names out there that use Ellie as a nickname? I don't really like Eleanor very much. Our last name is Rask.
Thank you! I really appreciate it.

I think Elizabeth is a great name!!

Elizabeth is, and has been, in the top ten names for a long, long time.
I think that Elizabeth is beautiful! I don't think that name will EVER be considered out-of-date, out-of-style, etc. It is a classic.
I just met a little girl whos first name was Elizabeth and the called her EB. I thought it was adorable.
Other names with Ellie NN.
Elena
Eliana
Ellison
Eliane
I feel i have to speak up for the Elizabeth's out there! Technically, that is my name, although i normally go by Liz or Lizzy. I feel that Elizabeth is an old fashioned name, but i love it because of that and because of how classic the name is. It just always sounds so elegant and beautiful to me. I do love history, and my view on my name may be based on that, but i really do love it. In high school, i remember that i was one of a few Elizabeths in the grade, but it never made that much of a difference, and there were multiples of almost every name. I don't know if this made any difference, but i thought i'd add my opinion. It is a beautiful name though, and i think both the name and the nickname go very well with your last name.

Elizabeth is old-fashioned in that it's been around forever, but it's more of a "classic" in that it never went out of style.
but the problem to me, is there are just way too many of them, every age group. too common. and Ellie is a very common nickname now - for a lot of names apparently. I don't like Eleanor either, or Ella.
how about Elise. a little fresher than Elizabeth.
good luck
