Comments for the name Eliza

Eliza is a lovely name.

Eliza Doolittle is the main character in George Bernard Shaw's stage play "Pygmalion". The play was transformed into a Broadway musical in the 1950s.

I think Eliza is an adorable name. It's great as a nickname for Elizabeth, as well as being great on its own. I think a good middle name for Eliza is Amelia: Eliza Amelia.

I love this name! I think it is so cute for a little girl as well as a woman. I am considering naming my daughter this who is due in June!

Eliza is the second name of actress Gene Tierney born as Gene Eliza Tierney.

Perhaps because of the Pygmalion/My Fair Lady association, this name has a very spunky quality, but it is classic enough to suit a woman throughout her life.

This name was popular in the 1880's.

I love the name Eliza- I use it for one of my role playing characters. It fits well for a child, as well as a nickname for Elizabeth (which I also love), yet it doesn't sound to childish for adults.

Yes, Eliza is the name of the main character in the show 'The Wild Thornberries' on Nick.

Also, a funny little piece of information, my character's name is 'Eliza Spencer', though not named after Lady Eliza Victoria Spencer, but after 'Spencer Hale', a character from a movie, and Spencer, the crazy older brother on iCarly. (Yes, I know that I'm strange.)

It's also used in Poland and Romania, probably as a form of Elisa.

A famous bearer is the American actress Eliza Dushku, who played the rogue slayer Faith Lehane on 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel'. She also plays Echo on Joss Whedon's newest show, 'Dollhouse'. Eliza is a very lovely name, and I like it paired with Kendall.

It's also a Polish name. In Polish it's pronounced e-LEE-zah. [noted -ed]

There is also a bronze statue of a diving woman in Matilda Bay which is named "Eliza" after the hill.

The suburb of Darlinghurst in Sydney is also named after her.

I secretly always wanted to be called this because my middle name is Elizabeth, but no one ever did haha. I think it's pretty and spunky.

EE-lies-uh
A-lies-uh
I-lies-uh

Great nickname for Elizabeth.
