[Opinions] Elizabeth (more)
Elizabeth Tudor was, not unreasonably, known as Gloriana though I don't imagine it was ever abbreviated. I find Gloria hubristic in spite of Frances the badger's baby sister, so I'd welcome almost any name that wasn't it or close to it. Elizabeth is decently distant.Anyway, anything can be a nn for anything else if it seems to fit. I was at school with a very pleasant Mary who was known as Porridge. Nobody remembers why.

Gloria hubristic? WTF?A hubristic name would be something more like Clytemnestra or Cassiopeia.

I'm not mad on Gloria either atm. Elizabeth would be interesting, that completely didn't occur to me.
