Help[Opinions] Re: Charlize
in reply to a message by Anneza, nsi
Ah, I hadn't thought of it as a combination name because I don't think of -ize as a typical name ending. Is Elize a common name there?

Very common! Certainly it's been in use in the Afrikaans community for the reasons I gave - almost Elizabeth but not quite. I know a woman in her late 60s whose names are Elisabeth Deborah, and she always goes by Elise; another friend is in her 40s and was named Elize Antoinette. In both cases, it's a tweaked family name.
