Proper noun
s ies
en female Elizabeth.
en 1993 Phillip Margolin Gone But Not Forgotten Bantam Books 0553569031 25 No one ever called Elizabeth Tannenbaum stunning, but most men found her attractive. Hardly anyone called her Elizabeth, either. An "Elizabeth" was regal, cool, an eyecatching beauty. A "Betsy" was pleasant to look at, a tiny bit overweight, capable, but still fun to be with. Betsy suited her just fine.
