An article I was reading mentioned that there were at least 15 common diminuitive forms of the name Elizabeth. It didn't list them. So without looking anything up, I'm going to try:

1)Liz
2)Lizzie
3)Liza
4)Eliza
5)Beth
6)Betsy
7)Bette
8)Bess
9)Bessie
10)Elspeth
Edit: 11)Betty. How could I forget Betty?

That's all I can come up with. Anyone have any suggestions for the last 5 4?

Bitsy? Believe it or not, I worked with an assistant principal whose first name was Elizabeth but had been called Bitsy all of her life.

I'm not sure if that would qualify as "common"

I've come across it before (and I don't know any assistant principals)
