Help[Opinions] Elizabeth
I have been digging in my family tree again and unsurprisingly there are a lot of women called Elizabeth. Some of them have a double barrelled first name and some of them are first and middle names but they all come across as dull. Names listed below.
Elizabeth Jane
Elizabeth Ann
Elizabethan
Elizabeth Alice
Elizabeth Hannah
Elizabeth Nicola
What middle name/ names or double barrel would you add to Elizabeth to jazz it up a bit?
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

If it has to be usable as a double-barrel first name, that limits it a lot since Elizabeth is already so long that most people don't even go by it anyway. But let's see...
Elizabeth Rose
Elizabeth Laure
Elizabeth June
Elizabeth May
Elizabeth Rue
Elizabeth Lark
Elizabeth Noor
Elizabeth Ness / Nessa

Elizabeth is a perennial favorite of mine: I don't wax poetic about the name, but it's one I always come back to. A classic, and a lot of people have this name; but the myriad nicknames make it seem fresher (Ellie & Beth being my favorites).
I don't know about double-barreling something as long as Elizabeth; but I do know naming conventions in the southern US would indicate that a nickname for Elizabeth is said along with the middle (e.g. Elizabeth Ann "Betty Ann" or "Ellie Ann"). Not really my thing.
One of the combos I've been toying with is Elizabeth Bronwen. I also like Elizabeth Iris and Elizabeth Ivy.

I have Elizabeth as 1 of my middle names.
Catherine Jacqueline Elizabeth.
I also have a younger cousin whose name is Elizabeth Katelyn.
For our daughter we were looking at Sophie Elizabeth Maree (prn Marie).

I really like Elizabeth Rose. I know it's pretty basic, but I love the name Rose and I think it lends Elizabeth the sparkle that it deserves, despite being tired from many centuries of use.
My name is Elizabeth Rachel, which I find pretty dull - although it's better than Elizabeth Anne, which was another name my parents considered. Rose is a family name and I would love to be Elizabeth Rose.

I've got an Elizabeth Mary, who married a distant blood relation in the UK. No other Elizabeths at all that I can find.
My daughter is Beatrice Elizabeth Anne; fortuitously she is known as Bea.
Brightish suggestions: Elizabeth Laura Jean; Elizabeth Lucy Michele; Elizabeth Florence; Elizabeth Joy Theresa, or Elizabeth Theresa Joy. IRL, I'd prefer Elizabeth as a mn, to avoid nns, especially Liz. I could just about face Betsy!
