Personal experiences with the name Elizabeth: | Edit

My name is Elizabeth. I am creative, strong, and very happy with my name.

i like my name-elizabeth. it's normal enough and a bunch of great people have shared my name and it makes me feel like i have some sort of connection with them.

I have a best friend named Elizabeth.She has been through many hard times with me.I have known her forever. I have never met an Elizabeth I haven't liked.

My name is Elizabeth, and I love it. It's charming and sweet. My ma and pa call me Elf/Elfie because when I was little my pointy ears were to big for my head and used to stick out. Fortunately now the rest of me has grown to catch up with the size of my ears, and they don't stick out half as bad. Most of the time now though I go by Elizabeth as it's trully beautiful.
