I don't feel quite that bad about Elizabeth. The full name Elizabeth is maybe about as stuckup as Elise, and it's not pretty at all IMO, but it isn't quite as grating as Elise... maybe because I've never met an Elizabeth who used it as her everyday name, and didn't go by Ellie or Liz or Beth. (I like Liz.) Elizabeth has never appealed to me very much though - I'm not surprised that someone hates it. I think the nicknames redeem its use as a full name, rather than being contaminated by their derivation from it.
