I suspect it's because we all had some negative experience with a mean girl named Beth sometime around 1985. Just me?

Yes but in 2010. The name gives me a shiver up my spine.

Lyddy makes no sense as there are no “d”s in Elizabeth.

I don’t like it.

I'm an Elizabeth. Don't love it, but don't really like any of the nicknames. My aunt (who is quite a bit older than my dad) goes by Libby, so maybe part of it is I just associate it as an old lady name. Can actually see it being cute for a little girl the more I think about it.

Lyddy MIGHT be a nickname for Lydia. Definitely not Elizabeth.
I love the nickname Libby. It’s cheerful. My husband’s grandmother was Elizabeth, nickname Libba

I like Elle, Ellie or Elsie

It's cute. But I can't help but think of that app (which is not a terrible association).

Yuck - Libby is my crotchety great aunt and my stick-up-her bottom SIL. Sorry, can't get passed those two awful Libbys that I know

Cute

I dislike it. It sounds like a flabby middle-aged lady.
But who cares what I think?!

There's no S or Z either, but Lizzy and Bess are both nicknames for Elizabeth.

?? There is a Z. And in the alternate spelling, there is an S (Elisabeth).

I also had a crotchety great aunt Libby but think it’s cute. I like Lizzy better. Most Beth’s are called Liz at least some of the time.
