| I love Eliza as a shortened version of Elizabeth  , but would probably use that as a name in its own right, and would use Beth as a shortened version of Elizabeth. | | | | Status: Offline

| I voted for Beth but i also like Elizabeth unshortened. My least favourite is Lizzie but tbh that's really only because I've met a couple of Lizzies who weren't very nice. | | | | Status: Online

| My sister was trying to get me to name my LO Elizabeth purely so she could shorten it to Effy, like Effy from skins!
I love shortening names too, gives LO so much more choice! x | | | | Status: Online
