Well.... My middle name is Elizabeth I was name after both of my grandmothers. I think it is a blessing because when they die i can keep the name going.I really like being named after my grandmothers because it makes me feel like we have something in common with each other
My name is Elizabeth Michelle but my parents call me Emi (the E from Elizabeth and the "mi" from Michelle) I like the name but not as a 1st name but as mine it sounds pretty cool.
My name is Sara Elizabeth, and i absolutly love the name Elizabeth, i even wish it was my first name.
My sister's name is Elizabeth, she is almost 11 years old. It is a pretty name mostly. But all the nickname options drive me nuts. Lizzie, libby, betsy, beth...but it is versatile and unique (most of the time :D)
My name is Katherine Elizabeth and I love it. I want to name my first child Elizabeth.lol
I named my middle daughter Elizabeth Marie. She is named after my great grandma. It is an old fashioned, classy name.
i cant think of this name it reminds me of my best friend 2 years she moved away and i haveent seen her since the only member of her family is her that works at our nearby grocery place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my name is Elizabeth, but i'm not so sure i like it, because it's too common. But the only thing i really like about it is that there r a ton of nicknames for it. I have tons of nicknames, but with my first daughter i would like her middle name to be Elizabeth. So, i like it, but then yet again i don't like it.
but I think Elizabeth is the most elegant, distinguished, beautiful names. And, obviously a true classic. Granted, there are so, so many nicknames, Elizabeth on it's own is simply gorgeous. It's been passed down through my family and I feel totally proud to have the name. It's not a fad, it'll never be a name that sounds ridiculous in five years; simply put: it's timeless.
