I think this is a great nickname for Elizabeth. Since there are so many people named Elizabeth, I think it'd be a good way for someone named Elizabeth to make their name more unique from the others. "Liz," "Beth," and "Betty" are used all the time, so I think it'd be nice to hear something different from that.-- noganoganoga 11/4/2006
