I much prefer the Elisabeth spelling, because it's much softer looking than Elizabeth. Reguardless of spelling, it's a beautiful, classic name that ages well. However, I really dislike Bessie- it reminds me of a cliche cow name (like Clover or Daisy).

Assuming that you guys are fond of your relative, why not use Elisabeth/Elizabeth nn Beth to honor her?
