[Opinions] Jessica or Elizabeth
Remember the Sweet Valley books? Francine Pascal has died. :(Which name is better?

I prefer Elizabeth. There are so many nickname possibilities and it’s a true classic.
I don't like the name Elizabeth. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just too worn for me to enjoy it. I like a lot of the nicknames, though. As for Jessica, I've found myself enjoying it a lot recently. It has a charm to it. And I like the nn Jess.
So, Jessica.
I love both names, but I'd probably choose the name Elizabeth...this was a hard one.
I’d go with Elizabeth, there are just so many nn options.
Jessica
I was never able to really identify with either Elizabeth or Jessica - I was all about Enid.But if I had to pick one of the Twins names, I'd go with Elizabeth, because I love Betty and Betsy.
I was Elizabeth! Those books made me like the name Todd then. Enid is a nice name!
No clue about the books. Elizabeth is very beautiful but also very long, and a lot of its nicknames are trite. Jessica is popular enough, not as much as Elizabeth (which is no bad thing) and only shortens to Jess or Jessie, which is fine. So, Elizabeth is better for a middle name and Jessica is better for a first name. Dead heat? Share the gold medal?
I love Jessica. Elizabeth is tired and worn out already.
Both are fine names but Elizabeth wins just for the abundance of nickname choices.

Elizabeth 💯
Elizabeth. Also never heard of the book series.
