My favourite Elizabeth/Elisabeth NNs: Libby Liesl/Liesel Lili Elsie Eliza Liddy
As for your concern about nicknames, most people ask and those who don't probably won't listen to you or her anyway! I've known two girls who were strictly called Beth, never Elizabeth, and they had different experiences. The first one had an elementary school teacher who insisted on calling her Liz, because she didn't like the NN Beth. The other had a professor apologize for assuming Beth went by Elizabeth and having called her Elizabeth for the whole semester.
I'm an Elizabeth who mostly goes by Liz. People have called me what they felt like calling me: my full name, Liz, Lizzy, Lilly Bette, and Betty (mainly as a joke).
Never Beth, though, as they will incur my wrath. (Though I don't mind that name on others.)

Thanks all! Elizabeth was born about 2 weeks ago, not long after I posted this. Appreciate the responses. So far Elizabeth, no nick name, has felt right. We'll see what happens as she grows!
I love, love, love Elizabeth. But I pretty much hate all of the nicknames for it. Which is one of the reasons why I never really considered it when I was pregnant.
