I was named after my two grandparents - Elizabeth Luella, but my family called me Betty Lou. When I started college, in my dorm there was a Betty Lou, Betty Lee, Betty Sue and Betty Anne - Needless to say it was a bit confusing. When I transferred to a large university I decided Betty Lou was not hip enough so I told people my name was Liz. That worked out pretty well since I married a man with the last name of Taylor. Of course the younger generation doesn't know who Liz Taylor is, but I do get comments on my initials - ET
