The single syllable makes it memorable and easy to spell, eliminating the confusion that comes with more elaborate names. Liz has a vintage cool factor that feels both retro and contemporary at once. It's the kind of name that works for a child but grows seamlessly with her into adulthood, whether she becomes an artist, executive, teacher, or anything else she dreams of becoming.
