Just wondering if Betsy strikes you as being a British or an American sounding name? I'm not so much after opinions of the actual name (been there, done that

I get a more 'American' feel than 'British'. |

American feel.
I like it, I'd probably use Elizabeth as a full name on the birth certificate and Betsy for daily use... |

Definitely American. Reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy-Tacy
And http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/heavens-to-betsy.html Bessie would have a more British feel in my mind. |

American - Betty or Elsie would be the more British deminutives of Elizabeth.

Ahhh bugger - I figured as much. I kind of want our names to have more of a British vibe than American. Thanks
