I have been watching this post with interest for some time, my favourite bugbear is Elisabeth. E**** gets Ella, Eliza, Elspit, Elspeth, Elly, but fails to pick up Beth, Betty, Bessy, Betsy, Biff, Lisa, Liza, Lis, Liz, Lissy, Lilabet or Lisbet.

My grandmother was Elizebeth, her first daughter was Elizebeth and they were both called Lil....I always thought they were both Lillians didn't know my aunt was Elizebeth until she was about 80 yrs old!
