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 😊

Yeah, I’m Elisabeth and my little sister couldn’t pronounce it so she called me Diddef for a few months until she figured it out. Fortunately it didn’t stick, but the “Diddef told me no!!!!!” story remains legendary lore in my family to this day specifically and only because it was the first time she called me that.

My little brother couldn’t pronounce Alex so he called me Lala. Now that’s what my entire family calls me and I’m auntie Lala to my nephew haha

My older sister is Christina. I couldn’t say that, so to this day she’s Teen. When I had my kiddo, they couldn’t say Auntie Teen, so she’s now TeTe. 🤷‍♀️
