Speaking of commonness of names

My name is fairly common but not trendy. It's been among the top 50 names for girls for a long time, so it's fairly consistent.

Anyhow, one day H and I were watching some movie set in England. I can't remember which movie it was, but there was a girl named Liz in it. I turned to H and said, "Did you ever notice that the name Elizabeth seems to be a lot more common in England?"

H said, "Gosh, I wonder why that might be." Indifferent

A beat.

Another.

Me: "Ooooooooh, right."

  • Lol, I have definitely had the same thought and conversation. :D

    Did you ever go by Elizabeth, or have you always been Liz?

    My Aunt never thought my cousin would go by Liz, and used to give me dirty looks if I even said "Lizabeth". She totally goes by Liz now, and her mom calls her that too.

    A lot of my immediate family members call me Elizabeth. I have an aunt Liz, who I'm named after, so to avoid confusion she was always Liz and I, Elizabeth. My friends have pretty much always called me Liz, though.

  • hahahha! 

     

    Both my grandmother and sister have the middle name Elizabeth.

  • As some of you know, I'm Elisabeth

    Part of the reason mom gave me the S is so I wouldn't be "Lizzie"

    I still have a couple people who call me Liz though.

    I was Beth growing up.
