It's in my family tree several times as a full name, and it's grown on me too. I prefer it to Elizabeth and most of the other nns for Elizabeth, and in fact the only con I can think of is that people would probably assume it was short for Elizabeth.The family combos are Eliza Rosetta, Eliza Amelia, Eliza Jane and Eliza Florence. I also like Eliza Lucy and Eliza Susanna.

I am liking Eliza Florence more and more.Sadly, it's in my family tree too, but only once and the combo is Eliza Elizabeth. How so very sad.

I generally don't care for the long 'i' sound in names. The only exception for me is Caroline. And also, Eliza is strictly a nick to me for Elizabeth. Finally, there's something about Eliza that seems so unsophisticated yet snooty at the same time. I much prefer the softer sounding Elisa.Overall, Eliza is pretty fresh and ripe for renewal.Combos:Eliza Catherine
Eliza Charlotte

Eliza Cordelia
Eliza Corinne

Eliza Juliet

Eliza Madeleine
Eliza Mae

I think it's really cute. There is an Eliza in my son's kindergarten class and she's made me like the name a lot.

I like it as a nickname for Elizabeth, but not on its own.

I prefer Elisa, and I like it pronounced Eh-lee-sa rather than Eh-lay-za.

I was pronouncing it eh-LYE-zah.
I've never heard it pronounced any different, at least not here in the Southeast US. Hmmmm....

-is to lazy to sign in-I love Eliza, it's unfortunately unusable for me because it was the main character's name in a weird 90's cartoon.

I like it. It has a very retro feel to it, it's spunky, yet classy. Very nice!

Pro: the freshest current version of Elizabeth

Turn of the 20th century names work well:
Eliza Harriet
Eliza Olive
