[Opinions] Re: Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Lily
My coworker is Elizabeth. There are two students (used to be another) who are all Lizzie. I think there is a five year old who is always Elizabeth, though.
I don't see Lily or Ella as nns for Elizabeth. Liza to me is the Russian nn, so I don't know how many people would use it automatically, like with Lizzie. I think the use of nns can be situational. People seem to use them more for kids than adults, especially in the work place. Also, if someone introduces themselves one way, that's what people will call them.

Liza is also an English name. I know, I don't see Lily and Ella as nicknames for Elizabeth either :)

Yes, but as a nn for some form of Elizabeth, imo, it's more Russian than English.
