I've fallen in love again with
Elizabeth. The problem is that I don't like any of its nicknames. I mean I have nothing against
Lily,
Liza and
Ella but I see them as names in their own right, not as nicknames. I would never want to shorten it but I guess once she started school I couldn't control it because she might want to call herself
Lizzie or
Betty. Do you think I should still use it?
I never hear
Elizabeth much even though it's in the top 20. I guess most of the girls who were named
Elizabeth go by
Lizzie or another nickname. I only know two girls who are called
Elizabeth, one is a baby and the other is 9 or 10.
How many do you know? Do any go by their full names and how old are they? Is it too common?
