[Opinions] Lisbeth.
WDYT? What about Lilibeth? With NO Lily nickname, maybe Beth though.I know with both of them people would mistake them for Elisabeth. I don't mind that, I love Elisabeth, but I also love Lilibeth and Lisbeth, and for the sake of being slightly less popular and slightly different...WDYT?

Lisbeth reminds me of Lisbeth Salander from the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books. I like it. I'm not a big fan of Lilibeth, though - it's a little too... cute. It would be an all right nickname, but not as a full name.

Honestly, both names are just too cutesy for me.

I really like Lisbeth, I think it's a fresh take on Elisabeth. I fell in love with it after reading Awake and Dreaming by Kit Pearson.I don't care for Lilibeth though, I find it a bit awkward to say and it just looks strange to me.

Well, I dislike both Lilibeth and Lisbeth...but I love Lisbet and Lilibet (this one as a nickname).The -beth versions just don't appeal to me.

Ooo, those ARE good. I like all four! So many options...

Lisbeth is adorable and I agree that it's a nice little twist on the classic Elisabeth. Lisbeth also proffers Liz, Lizzy and Beth as nickname options. Lilibeth is very nice as well. I like the sound more than the look, as the 'ili' isn't visually appealing for me (same problem with Lilian). It may take some resolve to not have people use the nickname Lily, but it could be done. Do you dislike "Lily" so much that it would annoy you if she actually wanted to use it as a nickname herself one day?Both Lisbeth and Lilibeth go well with Marilyn and Josephine.

I don't think she dislikes Lily at all but it is her second daughter's middle name, so I kinda understand that the third one shouldn't go by Lily...I prefer Lisbeth. The 'Lily problem' with Lilibeth aside, I just think Lisbeth is the more classic and grounded possibility.
