Diminutives...

[studentka-hb.livejournal.com]

I was trying to make an example of the enormous quantity of Russian diminutives that can be made from any given name and only managed to come up with about 3 for each one, so for all you native speakers out there -

How many diminutives can be made from Елизавета?

It's got several syllables so it should be a good one! We can get about 11 diminutives from the english variant...
Спасибо!!

don't forget Bess(ie)! it's such a nice old-fashioned one that only goes to horses these days, but it is sweet.

How could one forget Good Queen Bess?! ^_^ Yep, it's really oldfashioned, from the times of Good Old England, before they've buttoned up to their necks in Victorian times...
