Lilibet

I personally love this name, it feels very feminine and timeless, however everytime i mention it to anyone they don’t like it and think it’s odd. Let me know your opinion 😊

It would sound like you named her after the Queen imo, since only she, and the obnoxious Sussex's child, was named that. Nn of Queen Elizabeth because of a mispronounciation. You don't seem to want to hear this, which is fine, but suggesting you may hear many comments about the name due to those connections

No i get it, but i feel the uproar is silly, as people call their children Elizabeth all the time without royal connection, and that’s the queens actual name. Also, i really don’t care about the royals so their judgement on the name wouldn’t bother me

Yes, that's true but Elizabeth is a biblical name, and commonly used. QE was not the only Elizabeth, but she was the only Lilibet (until M&H's use which didn't seem to be originally sanctioned)
