Elizabeth

原Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Wilson is Garfield's veterinarian and a long-time crush of Jon Arbuckle. Although she has a deadpan, sardonic persona, she finds Jon's outlandish and goofball behavior endearing on occasion. Jon often attempts to ask her out on a date, but rarely succeeds; however, in an extended story arc from June 20 to July 29, 2006, Liz finally admitted she was in love with him which led to Liz becoming established as the 4th main character. The two have been seemingly portrayed as a couple since. In the film Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, Jon asks Liz to marry him and she accepts; they become engaged. However, this is not mentioned in or connected to the strips. Even though Garfield rarely sees her at the veterinary clinic, Liz nags Garfield to lose weight and reject junk food at home. However, Liz still does bring food that Garfield likes to the house and Garfield happily benefits from this. On Garfield and Friends, Liz was voiced by Julie Payne, occasionally appearing in the first two seasons. In the live-action/animated movies, she is played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her first, albeit brief television appearance was on the second TV special Garfield on the Town. In a few of the July 2007 strips, Garfield became jealous of Liz, until they became friends on July 24. In one strip, it is revealed that her mother's name is Betty. In The Garfield Show, she is once again voiced by Julie Payne, who is shown to be kinder and more sympathetic. Liz's parents have made a couple of appearances on The Garfield Show as well.

原I love the name Elizabeth, and I honestly wish that was my name instead of the boring and overused "Julia". If I ever have a daughter I would probably name her this and then nickname her "Ellie", which I find super cute. The full name itself is elegant, classy and not too common.

原I love the name Elizabeth. It's my sister's name and it's beautiful and elegant! We call her Izzy for short but Elizabeth most of the time. She's my twin and our names go together Elizabeth and Charlotte!

原WAYYYY overused as a middle name.

原A vinyl by Ghost, that satanic colt band.

原This is just the best name in the world. It has a great meaning and it sounds so mature, but beautiful at the same time.

原What you name your kid marks out their past lives, emotions, personality etc., so be a little bit nicer about kids as they can't help being the whay they are! P.S. was thinking of using this name, but has sadly become so popular that it's overused!

原My name is Elizabeth - personally, I didn't particularly like the name at first just because it's too long but now it's grown on me. Family members and a close friend tend to call me Zab while other friends call me Ellie.

原My name is Elizabeth and I love it.

原Elizabeth is my first name, though I'm mostly known by my middle name. As a child I didn't like this name much, I found the 'z' sound unappealing, but as I've grown older it's grown on me. Now I think it sounds very elegant and feminine, and is a definite classic. I often get compliments when people find out my name is Elizabeth, which makes me appreciate my name even more. There are also many great nicknames for Elizabeth if you think it sounds too formal, apart from the common Liz, Lizzie and Beth - Elsie, Lisa, Elsa, Bella, Eliza, Eli, Ella, Ellie, Lilibet, Libby, Buffy (?). Also if you are considering using this name and like the sound of it but perhaps find it not quite right, there are many beautiful names derived from Elizabeth, like Isabelle, Ailsa, Elise, Elka, Liesel, etc.

原Elizabeth "Effy" Stonem is one of the main characters in the British television series Skins.

原Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910), is well known worldwide as the first woman to receive her degree as a Doctor of Medicine. She represents a historic moment in modern medicine and women's liberation. Several years after her family immigrated to the United States, she studied privately with independent physicians, an education that culminated at Geneva Medical College in Upstate New York.

原This will probably be my future daughter's middle name as a tribute to my name, which is Elizabeth. It's not a horrible name and it's starting to grow on me. My tarantula's name is Charlotte Elizabeth. My great grandmother's name was Elizabeth.

原Elizabeth Bathory is a bad association but doesn't ruin it. (I don't think like that.) I prefer Elisabeth though, because I think Z's can ruin names. Elisabeth is so much prettier overall.There are so many nicknames: Beth, Bess, Bessie, Betty, Liz, Lizzy, Betsy, Bethie, Liza, Eliza, Elli, Ellie, Elle.

原I love this name, and while I'm glad it is getting the recognition it deserves as a first name instead of a middle name, I'm saddened by how popular and boring it has gotten. As much as I love hearing it, I do think this name deserves a good rest for a while. Why not try a cousin of Elizabeth, like Elisheba or Elisabeta, as a more original name for your daughter?

原Queen Elizabeth I had a ton of history in her name. Her father was King Henry the 8th and her mother was killed by him.

原Classic name with a lot of history, it never gets dated. Not so overused in my region either as I've never met any Elizabeth's here.

原This was the first name of the American President James Monroe's wife.

原Another nickname that I was given - Lizzy Tish, Lizzie Tish, Libby, Libbie, Liza, "E"

原Elizabeth "Bess" Laurence is the daughter of Amy and Theodore (Laurie) Laurence from Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women".

原My name is Elizabeth, when I was little I always went by Elizabeth by everybody until 8th grade when I decided I would have everyone call me Lizzie, and then soon after I just went to Liz. I really wish I had been called a nickname when I was little because after a while I realized how formal it sounded and I didn't like it at all... I do love the versatility of my name though, I mean just the fact I was able to switch to a few names is much more than a lot of people can do. Also when I went to South America for a few months everyone started calling me Eli, (pronounced Ay-lie) since that was easier for them than Liz. Overall I think it's a great name and it will never go out of style as it's consistently stayed in the top 15 names for over 100 years. Also even though it appears to be common in the charts I rarely met other Elizabeths apart from every other girl having it as a middle name. If you're going to name your kid Elizabeth, I recommend using a nickname because Elizabeth is so formal for a little girl!

原Very aggressive, but there are worse names.

原Elizabeth is a very pretty name. The problem is, a lot of people have it. I like uncommon names, and although this name is beautiful, it seems everyone has it today, especially as a middle name. My middle name is Elizabeth, too. And I know about 30 other girls in my school with this name as a first or middle name.

原My mother was going to name me Elizabeth, but then changed her mind at the last minute. So sad, because I believe that Elizabeth is the BEST NAME IN THE UNIVERSE! It is feminine without being flowery, it is so classic that Queens have been named Elizabeth. It has a million nickname possibilities... and I have always loved this name. Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth! Why couldn't mine name have been Elizabeth?

原My name is Elizabeth, and I love it. I always have! I don't think it's too common or too formal. It's beautiful and classic. It will never go out of style. I only go by Elizabeth, I absolutely detest being called Liz or Lizzie. Only my family has ever nicknamed me and calls me Elly because my younger brother had trouble pronouncing Elizabeth when he was younger. I'm really surprised that there are such strong opinions against Elizabeth!

原I was named Elizabeth way back in the sixties. When I was younger I didn't like it because no one called me Elizabeth, not my family, not my friends, and definitely not my teachers. Everyone called me Lee, Lizzy Liz, but as I grew up I also grew into the name. The name Elizabeth to me is classy, confident, and yes regal. Thanks mom and dad.

原A classic. I like both spellings Elizabeth or Elisabeth. My favorite nickname is Lizzie, but I also like Bess. So many nicknames: Liz, Beth, Bette, Betsy, Bessie, Lilibet, Liza. Very regal sounding a.k.a Queen Elizabeth.

原Elizabeth is also the name of a character on The Americans.

原Notice how some nicknames are "automatic," that is, people will bestow them without asking (which of course they should), whereas others, often older and bearing less resemblance to the "real" name, are not. A woman named Elizabeth is likely to be called Liz (or in some areas Beth) unless she objects, but she will not be called Betty unless she was assigned it at birth or chose it. Similarly with Margaret and Marge or Maggy ("automatic") vs. Peggy (not). Though any nickname can be given as a "real" name, this is more common with the non-automatic kind.

原Elizabeth is one of the few long names that are often used in full by those who bear them (though of course it has many nicknames). (I am not saying that this should be the case. Whatever name you use to introduce yourself should be what you are called unless you say otherwise.)

原There are plenty of classic names better than Elizabeth.This is just dull. You might as well call your child Oatmeal.

原This is my name but from about the age of 5 my family called me Tilly because my little sister called me that, not being able to pronounce it. I like both names, but Elizabeth is now very formal for me and not a lot of people know that it is my real name. It's a problem when people want to know my initials TH or ECH? I was called a lot of variations at school, Liz (of course), Liggy, Tillbeth but in the end Tilly was the one that stuck since my family called me that.

原Great, regal, classy name! One of the classiest! I liked it even better after reading For Better or For Worse- my fave comic!

原Gorgeous name, if I ever have a daughter this is her name!

原Elizabeth is a beautiful name, but I think it works better as a middle name.

原I love this name. It is super popular. It has a ton of nicknames. My favorite, that I heard of recently, is LilyBeth. If I ever used it for a child I would probably use it as a middle name.

原Elizabeth Montagu (2 October 1718 – 25 August 1800) was a British social reformer, patron of the arts, salonist, literary critic, and writer.

原Beautiful name. It's like eating skips (the crisp brand), gets stuck to your tongue and gets addictive!

原I like the name Elizabeth because I think the name Elizabeth is a popular name for a queen. And I think it sounds like a very, very, very kind and nice girl. And I think that is a very, very, very good thing.

原It's an okay name I guess. Way too overused and long but nice and classical.

原Dr. Elizabeth Shaw was the first scientific advisor of UNIT in the TV series Doctor Who. She also assisted the Third Doctor (her successor) during his first season.

原This is my absolute favorite name for a girl. It's also my name! It's a true classic, and you can't go wrong with it. You won't get a lot of mispronunciations (if any). It also has many gorgeous nicknames, and my favorites are Ellie, Liz, Lily, and Liza. Many middle names will go well with Elizabeth, and it is also a perfect middle name. I would definitely give this name a 10/10. Please consider using this for a little girl!

原Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas is a character in Code Lyoko.

原I absoulutly love this name, but it's just becoming so popular these days.

原Traditional, popular and will forever be considered a classical name. Anyone with this name should be PROUD! =)

原One of the prettiest female names. Very cute, innocent, and classic. Somebody said, it's long, but there's nothing wrong with a long name, especially with a nice one like Elizabeth. Besides, you can always use a shortened variant - Lizzie, Liz, Bettie, or Ellie for example. Each one is adorable in my opinion. This name unquestionably disserves to be in first ten of best names of all times. I had a black cat named Betty, long time ago, but she died :( Also, this name always reminds me of Elizabeth DeWitt from Bioshock Infinite - one of the most unforgetable and adorable characters in video games ever.

原Will definitely be the middle name of my future daughter! Love it. So classy and traditional.Elizabeth was the name of my grandma, but she went by Lily, which is a beautiful nickname.I think if I was called Elizabeth (which I would be very happy with), my nickname would be Bizzy or Beth.

原I love this name so much. And its biblical which is important to me :) I live in Hawaii and I have a friend named Elizabeth who we call Liz. It's such a beautiful name!

原My 3 year old daughter is named Elizabeth. Yes, it's quite common, but as others have pointed out, there are so many nicknames for it that it the popularity is irrelevant. You could know 5 different Elizabeth's but they could all be known by a different nickname. Our daughter usually just goes by Elizabeth, or rarely Libby. As far as English feminine names go, I think Elizabeth is hands down the most classic. It has never been out of the top 100 in over 200 years, and the list of notable bearers is endless. It truly is a name with rich history. The name is so versatile- it fits any age, any look, any type of personality. My daughter loves her name, as does the rest of our family. It's an elegant classic that will rarely, if ever, get any negative reactions.

原I do think this name is a little boring/plain, but its my best friend's name and she is the most nice person on the planet. :) Her nickname is Eliza.

原I think Elizabeth is to old-fashioned for 2013. There are some names that are timeless and classy, but Elizabeth is just a bit too old- school for me. I don't like the "beth" part, it makes me think of my grandmother Beth, which makes me think it's a name for old people.

原Name of the Day: June 3, 2013.

原My name is Elizabeth, and I like it a lot. I use the nickname Tess, which is nice, because where I live there are a lot of Liz, Lizzie, Libby, and Beth's, but the amazing thing about this name is that there are more than one or two nicknames for it, even if Tess is not the most valid (you get it by Beth to Bess to Tess).

原My sister is named Elizabeth Grace. It suits her and comes across as very classically feminine, especially if there are no nicknames involved (though she does tend to get called Bess by our younger brother). I prefer the Elisabeth spelling a little bit more, though, because it's slightly softer (no random Z in the middle).

原One of the best girl's names! It's classic, pretty, and there are so many nicknames. I like all of them except Liz, which sounds kind of harsh to me. My little cousin Elizabeth goes by Ellie :)

原Elizabeth Delaney, is the Tori's dead best friend in the darkest power series.

原Elizabeth is my nana's name, but she goes by Betty. I love the name, but there are too many nicknames for it! Eliza and Beth are two pretty names so add them together and you get an even better name- Elizabeth! And, Elizabeth works splendid as a first or middle name! ( my nana's, if you want an example, is Elizabeth "Betty" Joy Rogers.)

原Love. Anyway, It has gotten very popular! When I think of the name I think noble and sophisticated.

原Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926) was an American civil aviator. She was the first female pilot of African American descent[1] and the first person of African American descent to hold an international pilot license.

原New York-born singer Lana Del Rey's real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant.

原I've always spelled it like "Elizibeth". My own mom doesn't really know which way it's spelled.. lol thanks mom. This name is better than my first name "Meghan" I guess. But it makes my full name sooooooooooooo long. That's not even including my confirmation name. It's just so long and I hate long names. Famous people make their names shorter to give it a nice ring. An example would be Gene Simmons. His name is like Haijaijifhuifhugueigf originally.

原This is my cousin's name. I think that she is pretty, since this name's spelling also sounds pretty to me. I like Elizabeth, because it has some cute meaning to it. There are also some short forms that I like: Bess, Beth, Betsy, Betty, Eliza, Ella, Ellie, Lisa, Liz, Lizzie (I prefer this spelling over Lizzy), and so on. I prefer not to use these nicknames on my cousin, because she just goes by her full name of Elizabeth.

原Classic girls name. The nickname Ella makes it more modern, but still nice.

原This name is beautiful and strong. Elegant and charming. Plus to maybe youth it up there can be nicknames such as "Liz" or "Elle". I like this name and I think it is classic and timeless.

原Elizabeth Crot is Miss Virginia 2011.Elizabeth Wertenberger is Miss Michigan 2011.

原My daughter's middle name. All Elizabeth's I've ever encountered are stunningly beautiful, graceful and kind-hearted. My family loves the name so much that most refuse to use my daughter's first name and instead call her Elizabeth.

原While this is a very beautiful and classic name, use it sparingly as a middle name, for it is VERY common. I was born Rose Elizabeth (the middle name being after my grandmother), but go by an uncommon foreign name because I dislike my common and dated combination. I know at least 3 other females with this as a middle name, all of European heritage.It's just as filler a middle name as Grace, so only use it if it's a family name.

原Elizabeth Butler (1846-1933) was a British painter.

原In Enid Blyton's Naughtiest Girl series the title character was called Elizabeth.

原OVERUSED! OVERUSED! OVERUSED! I hate this awful name. I wish it were illegal to name your kid such a terrible name. Ugh. It makes me cringe!

原My name is Elizabeth, and my friend's middle name is Elizabeth. I love nicknames for Elizabeth and both my friend and I love the name!

原Elizabeth is a classic name. I prefer the spelling Elisabeth though - it's much softer. I love the name Elisabeth. My fave nicknames are Ella and Ellie but I have a soft spot for Betty too.

原I love this. It is so pretty. It just has an elegant, royal ring to it, as well it should, because of all the Queen Elizabeths in England.

原Current (2006-?) leader of the Green Party of Canada is Elizabeth May.

原My name is Elizabeth, but my friends and family call me Beth. However, I really HATE this name. Does anyone have any good variations on Elizabeth? I like Eliza, Lizzie, Lizzy or just Elizabeth? My middle name is Alice, which flows really well with Elizabeth. I think?

原Elizabeth Taylor 1932 - 2011. [noted -ed]

原My name is Elizabeth Mary- and in my opinion there a WAY too many (in Britain, anyway)- I know 3 people who shorten it to Liz (myself included), 1 Libby, have met at least 5 Lizzies, and 2 who just stick with Elizabeth. And that's just first names.I was given Elizabeth because when my mum was in school, she was asked to find out about someone famous with her name (Nicola), and there weren't any! So she gave me a name shared with lots of famous people in history.I don't know whether I prefer unusual names, but I'm not a big fan of Elizabeth. Just avoid Lizzie- as someone who's only just managed to change it to Liz, your daughter will have years of being 'Lizzie R'. I like the Polish diminutive 'Ela', but I'm not going through whole 'could you call me Liz, please?' process again!

原Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun was a famous French painter, one of the most famous painters of the 18th century. Many of the portraits of Marie Antoinette were done by her; she is sometimes considered her official portraitist.

原Very fruity sounding, but that may be a good thing.

原Lillibet is the most sweetest nickname ever!

原This is my mother's name. I've always loved it, but I prefer it spelled "Elisabeth". I also don't really like most of the nicknames.

原This is my mom's name. I think it's beautiful.

原I personally dislike this name simply because of all the nicknames that stem from it. You will never know the annoyance of your friends going "Lizzy Beth," every day of the week until it is stuck in some part of your name. Not to mention it seems to be every girl's middle name when they're parents couldn't think of anything else.

原Normally I'd dub a name like this as "overused," which I've done for several pretty, but overly common, names like Emily, Sarah, Ava (for the new baby generation), etc. But I can't do that for Elizabeth because, while fitting the bill of a beautiful name that is *really* common, the name has a wealth of nicknames to choose from:BessBethBetsyBetteBettyEllaElleEllie/EllyLibbyLizLizzie/LizzyEtc.So, even if you were to name your daughter Elizabeth, she may eventually go by one of many nicknames, so she'll still be "different." Personally, I find Elizabeth to be one of the most beautiful names I've ever come across. Elizabeth. It just flows off the tongue. There is no ugly sound to it--even the 'z', which can sometimes be a harsh sound, fits beautifully.

原Elizabeth "Liddy" Dole was a Republican U.S. Senator, former president of the American Red Cross, wife of presidential candidate Bob Dole, and a presidential candidate in her own right.

原This is probably my favorite name for a girl. It has countless nicknames, it's classy and intelligent, and it ages very nicely. To me, it gives the image of an serious, kind, intelligent woman who works hard and doesn't need others to do her dirty work. Love this name.

原Elegant name with lots of cute and classy nicknames.
