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 😊

I think it’s a fine nickname, but you’re limiting a child by giving them that as their legal name instead of Elizabeth. Do you think a Lilabet could be a Judge? Or an Engineer?

i think my child could do anything they set their mind to, i don’t think they would be limited by a name like Lilibet

Sure, but do you think other people will take a Lilibet seriously? Names influence perception and hire-ability. 

I suppose she could always go by Lily. My point is that it’s kind to give your child options, so they can choose the name that fits them best.

100% agree. I don’t know what people are saying. Perfectly respectable name. Sound elegant imo!
