The Name Game

Some Monday fun - Will you help us play the name game?

We have been calling Elizabeth by her full name since she was born, but it is becoming apparent that a nickname would be helpful.  Many people are trying to give her a nickname anyway.  My dad, some of my neighbors, and a few others like to call her Lizzie.  My friend's little boy calls her baby Bef (for Beth).  We have also heard Liz, Liza, Izzy, Ellie, Libby and I am sure I am forgetting a few. Her name is also a long one to say and write and we didn't realize that it would cause so much trouble for people:)!  

We had originally planned to call her Ella, but Clint likes Elle (pronounced as one syllable) too. I'm sure we will continue to call her Elizabeth from time to time, but I think it is time to start using a nickname as well.  Note to self - Name the next child (if we are blessed with another) what we will call him or her eliminating the full name/nick name dilemma :)

 

What do you think?  Ella or Elle?  Any other suggestions to throw in the mix?  Thanks for playing!!
