[Opinions] Re: Lily Francesca
in reply to a message by Lillian
I suppose you're right, it was rather mercurial of me. But, admittedly, I do find Lily to be slightly diminutive now with my current tastes (whether pandering or not to Mrs. Norton). :-)
I'm surprised others haven't heard of Lily used as a nickname for Elizabeth before. I thought it was quite widespread.
Thanks for the welcome. :-)

It may indeed be widespread, I just haven't seen it done where I am (near Houston). I've seen Lilibeth once or twice, though. As I said, Beth being the most common Elizabeth nn here, I guess I thought Lilibeth must be a combination of Lily and Beth; it hadn't occurred to me that Lili- would be diminutive of Eliza-. But sure, why not.
And, you're... welcome. :-)
