[Opinions] Re: Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Lily
Oh, how I love Elizabeth. I really think it's one of the best names out there.
Let's see now. My mother is an Elizabeth, nn Liz.
I know a handful Elizabeths within 10 years of my age who go mostly by Liz or Beth.
I know three Elizabeths under 10. One is called Betsy 100% of the time, but the other two are always Elizabeth, no nn. I believe more and more young Elizabeths are going by their full names; I saw one in a restaurant just the other day with her four sisters. They all used their proper names (Charlotte, Madeleine, Elizabeth, Sarah, and one I didn't catch) without nicknames, and it was freakin' adorable to hear the little ones lisping out "Elizabeth."
Don't worry about the nn thing--use Elizabeth!
