Eliza was a boss who was awful to me, so... yeah, I strongly prefer Liza! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2137117 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:40:59 +0000 mauxie 2137117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the name but immediately think of Liza Minelli, who I don't really care for ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2137105 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:29:35 +0000 Kimberlybee 2137105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Eliza better. I would probably go with Zaza as a nn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2137005 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:12:02 +0000 cookiemomster 2137005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to Eliza but that's my daughters name sooooo :happy: I think giving her some flexibility with nicknames when she's older is a pro for the longer version- my name can't be turned into anything or shortened and it always bummed me out as a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136893 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 15:16:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2136893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still not sure of the pronunciation for Liza. LEE-za or LIE-za? I'd have the same pronunciation issues I'd have with Eliza! I prefer Eliza though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136808 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:32:13 +0000 Torchwood 2136808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of names that are already basically nicknames, because I changed mine several times growing up (Beth to Elizabeth to Lizzie to Liz), and would have really resented not being able to. Also, I think you'll get a lot of people who are confused and think you said/meant Eliza. Agree that I prefer it as a nickname for Elizabeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136684 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:17:14 +0000 lamariniere 2136684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Eliza. I think you could run into people pronouncing it Lie-za or Lee-za. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136669 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:12:03 +0000 Mrs. J 2136669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it, but I also like it short for Elizabeth. I like Violet better with M and W's names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136661 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:10:11 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2136661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was in the running for DD's name! It reminds me of the little kids song. Very pretty and erases pronunciation problems.</p> <p><a href="http://www.songsforteaching.com/folk/theresaholeinthebucket.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.songsforteaching.com/folk/theresaholeinthebucket.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136611 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:55:48 +0000 NovBaby1112 2136611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not crazy about it.

The main character on the new show "Younger" is named Liza. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136593 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:50:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2136593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. I prefer Eliza.<br /> The Liza Minelli connection is too strong for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136590 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:49:45 +0000 kayakgirl73 2136590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with Eliza over Liza. It reminds me of Almanzo's sister's name in the Little House on the Prairie Books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136563 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:42:36 +0000 Anya 2136563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136560 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:41:55 +0000 autumnlove 2136560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Liza more than Eliza! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136558 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:40:37 +0000 travellingbee 2136558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. I like it as a nickname for Eliza or Elizabeth a little better but I still like it by itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136551 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:36:34 +0000 lawbee11 2136551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Ooooh I like it short for Elizabeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136546 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:35:39 +0000 hilsy85 2136546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Liza! I know a Liza which is short for Elizabeth, but I like it as a stand alone name too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136544 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:35:10 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2136544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liza is my cat's name :). I actually do prefer Eliza for a little kid because liza is reminiscint of liza Minnelli (which is how we thought of the cat's name) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136540 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:34:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2136540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liza takes me to Liza Minelli, but if you don't mind the association, I think it's fine. I always prefer having the bigger name in their formal title. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136535 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:33:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2136535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer eliza, with or without the nn Liza. I actually think people would be more likely to mispronounce Liza, but I could be wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136530 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:32:31 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2136530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ok. But I like Eliza a lot. Just a difference of taste I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opinions-on-the-girl-name#post-2136529 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:31:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2136529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...Liza?</p> <p>Like Eliza, but without the E. I love the name Eliza, but I think if we had one, we would just end up calling her Liza anyway. Plus, Eliza seems to be pronounced differently by different people, like ee-lize-uh, eh-lize-uh, uh-lize-uh....etc. </p>
