HelpRe: Elizabeth "Beth" and Walter opinions
in reply to a message by Caroline
I like both Elizabeth and Walter. I think Walter has a dusty charm, and even though a lot of people still find it dated... I think it's quirky enough to be cool. I personally love the nickname Walt, and even Wally. So, it's totally usable to me.
As for Elizabeth nicknames, my favorites are Buffy, Betsy and Ellie. However, I think Beth is the prettiest nickname that is also common. Eliza is such a solid sound that I find it better as a full name rather than a nickname... and Lizzie is probably the most common nickname I have heard for Elizabeth (or Liz), so I find it the most boring.
A friend of mine just used Elizabeth, nn Betty - which was quite a cool throwback nickname. They have a Grandmother Betty though, so it was honoring like your names.
