Elizabeth or Olivia?

Anonymous
Like both names but agree that there are a ton of little Olivias around right now and you’d probably know many others with the name. I’d go with Elizabeth and also like the nn Libby a lot. Knew a Libby in childhood and she was lovely. Completely disagree with the PP who related it to Tubby!

We named our daughter Elizabeth, because we liked the name, and also it was flexible if she wanted to go by a nickname. So far, we've just been calling her Elizabeth though, because that's the name that suites her.

Oh man, Elzie is adorable. My vote is definitely Elizabeth. Both may be classic, but Olivia is trending and definitely overused right now.

How about Livia with nn Liv?

I’m an Elizabeth who goes by Beth and I’ve always hated that my parents gave me that nn. Wish they just stuck with Elizabeth

What nickname do you like? Nicknames Libby and Livy can go with either name, so just choose what you like, don’t let nickname dictate it. It could be Olivia nicknamed Libby or Elizabeth nicknamed Livy.

Go back to Elizabeth.

I'm happily a Christina again, have been since the day I left for college.

Olivia is so tired. Go with Elizabeth, which is more classic than 90s.
