I was almost given this name. My parents considered naming me Elizabeth and calling me Beth. Ultimately they decided against it. I have mixed feelings about it because I love Elizabeth but don't care for Beth. In fact, I dislike all the nicknames for Elizabeth except Eliza. I guess if they had named me Elizabeth I could have tried to change my nickname. But I think sometimes it's hard to make that stick.
Ultimately though, I think it's a nice idea to honor your late aunt, so that's what you should do.
