1st one that came into my head was 'Libby' but I love 'LillyBeth' as a cutesy nickname for Elizabeth. Then there's the usuals like Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Ellie, Elle....

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.

I like Liza and Betsie! x

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.

 

[Emma.Gi]

I like Libby and Beth

Libby or Beth

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

 

[Serene123]

Effy is short for Stephanie....?

Effy is a more traditional nickname for Elizabeth

[Lovemyboy]

I like Beth and libby, wouldn't shorten it to Lizzy tho!

 

[emerald78]

I am a Stephanie and I have never heard my name be shortened to Effy.

I love Elizabeth but I prefer the following

Lillibet
Tillybet
Eliza
Betty
Betsy

personally I do not like Liz, Lizzie, Ellie.

I also like the version of Elspeth for Elizabeth
