This is not for anything in real life right now, just something I've been thinking about.
If I were to someday have a daughter and name her
Elspeth, most logically she would be called something like
Elsie or
Ella for a nickname.
However, what do you think about using
Lisette as a diminutive or nickname for an
Elspeth?
Lisette is a French diminutive of
Elisabeth, and
Elspeth is a Scottish form of
Elisabeth.
Do you think that would be legitimate? Or too strange? What about using other diminutives for
Elisabeth for an
Elspeth?
