Do you say "uh-lizabeth," "eh-lizabeth," or "EE-lizabeth"?

Eh-lizabeth.

Liz or Lizzy.

I have known a dozen – maybe more – Elizabeths over the years. None of them have liked the full name.

Most liked Liz. One liked Lizzy. And one preferred Betsy. (or Betts)

Eh-lizabeth

Long E

I just go with Lizardbreath (my older sister)

@Brian1946, no. Just something I’m curious about. I have a friend named Elise, for instance, who for years said her name with the initial sound basically a schwa, and then suddenly she started saying EE-LEESE. Made me very aware of and uncertain about how to say any of these names. And how does Queen Elizabeth say her name? (Does she ever actually say her own name?)

My pronunciation is closest to “uh-lizabeth” (i.e. the first syllable is a schwa). When enunciating, I might say it more like “eh-lizabeth”.

Uh-lizabeth. I’m from CA, if that accounts for the pronunciation.

Uh-lizabeth.
EH-lees.
Ee-lain.

Betty

Eh-lizabeth

Eh-lizabeth

Is this the right way?

Eh, but it sounds very close to Uh.

@elbanditoroso Not my experience. I do know some that go by Liz, but plenty use their full name

Uh-lizabeth, but I sometimes swallow the first syllable so it sounds more like “Lizabeth”.

However the named person prefers.

E
As in Sheila (E.)

“Eh-” as in “Elizabethan”

I use UH-lizabeth.

I say “Uh-lizabeth” like the “uh” sound in “away.”

Ul….

I think I don’t think about it, I just say it. Now that I’m thinking about it, they each sound like what could come out of my mouth.

EE for all of them.

My sister’s name is Elizabeth (uh Lizabeth) My middle name is Elaine (E laine)

Eh.
