Truly a great, quirky girl's name, Hattie, short for Harriet or Henrietta , is an awesome name meaning "homeruler. Elsley defended the show's content as not so much controversial, "but a serious attempt to get in the roots of young people's lives. The name peaked in popularity in as the No. In , only 28 baby girls were named Ethel.
I know an Evgenia who goes by Effie. I could see Effy as a nn for Elizabeth. It reminds me of Buffy , in which the TH sound is converted to an F. It's pretty cool. Elizabeth works well, however. I think Elizabeth already has too many nicknames, so Euphemia or Josephine would be the better choice and " Effie " is better.
I'm not sure if it was a nickname for anything. I've no idea how that nickname came to be, though. I've never heard of the show but I'll tell her about it. I thought it was unknown of. Hmm so does that mean it really is a short form of Elizabeth? I guess it does. Interesting I love Elizabeth and I love Effie , but Effie isn't related to Elizabeth and I don't see how it makes sense to be a nickname for Elizabeth. It isn't necessarily a nickname for anything, although sure seems like it ought to be.
Sparky Elsie belongs with vintage favorites. Like Elsa, it follows naturally from Elisabeth-with-an-s. The first letter of Elizabeth may be E, but the first sound is El. Factor in that strong B, and Libby has long served as one of the traditional Elizabeth nicknames. Though the eldest von Trapp daughter spelled it Liesl. Some will insist that Lily is a nickname for Lillian, and linking it to Elizabeth is just too much.
Lily started out as one of many Elizabeth nicknames. Lillian is an elaboration of Lily. A s favorite, Lisa started out as a short form of Elisabeth. It sounds like a rushed together pronunciation of the name, but it works as a nickname, too. Take Lisa, add an -ette, and presto — a French, feminine, but still casual Elizabeth diminutive. Liz and Lizzie — or Lizzy — serve as the immediate, automatic Elizabeth nicknames. From Lizzie Borden to Liz Lemon, women — real, fictional, and somewhere in-between, have been Liz across the ages.
Strictly speaking, Liza peaked as an independent given name in the s. But it never really caught on. Credit for the 70s peak goes to Liza Minnelli, daughter of Hollywood legend Judy Garland and an Oscar-winner in her own right. Today Liza feels both vintage and slightly undiscovered — a name everyone knows, but no one is using.
Maybe Lizzo is more like Cher — a mononym too big to belong to more than one person. T seems an unlikely letter to inspire Elizabeth nicknames. Except the sound is there. And if Elizabeth can be Bess, is Tess really so far away? As Tess is to Bess, Tetty is to Betty.
The difference is that Tetty surfaces in the historical record, particularly in the s. And yet, with Theodora on the rise, Teddy sounds like Teddy — which has some promise. Thea emerges as an unconventional Elizabeth nickname. The ZAB is right there, smack in the middle of the name.
Shift the Z from the middle to the front, and maybe — just maybe — Zella works. But in our age of Stella, Bella, and Ella, Zella is just as likely to stand on its own.

One of my twin granddaughters is named Lily so now I feel a little more connected to her name. Elsie is probably my favorite though. My favorite is Libby, which my cousin used as the formal name for his daughter. How is Eliza not on this list?? My great grandmother was Bessie. Her twin daughters were Bess and Birdie my grandmother.
She had another set of twins, one named Elsie. Bess had a granddaughter, Bethany. My Grandma Birdie had two daughters, my aunts, Birdie and Betsy. No one was named Elizabeth. I was named after the other side of the family. I like them so much better than Liz or Lizzy. Love this name and all of its iterations! I want to change it to something easier or maybe just to something more adult but I really love going by Bethy! I never know what to answer to. My Dad nicknamed me Tibby or Tib which many friends, family still call me.
As an adult I dislike that but suck it up. I always have called myself Elizabeth.
