erin elizabeth is a good name. i hope this will help:
Erin is a Hiberno-English derivative of Irish Gaelic Ãirinn, the dative case of Ãire, the Irish word for "Peace". Nineteenth-century Irish nationalists also used Erin in English as a romantic name for Ireland, as shown in the catchphrase (when speaking of Ireland's experiences with Britain), "Let Erin Remember". According to Irish mythology and folklore, the name was given to the land by the Milesians after the goddess Ãriu. Erin Go Bragh (Ãireann Go Brách, in standard orthography), often heard during St. Patrick's Day, means "Ireland Forever". The etymological history of the word as it drifted throughout the Gaelic region gave rise to its use by the early Scots to both mean "Ireland", as well as "West", as Ireland lay to the geographic west of Scotland.
Erin is a popular modern name for both sexes, alternatively spelled as Eryn, Erynn, Eirinn, Aeryn, Eiryne or otherwise. It also contributed to many surnames, as well, for example "Erin-Vienne" (West Man/Irish Man) gave rise to the surnames of Irving, Irvine, Ervin, Irwin, Eryvine, Ervyne, etc. There are over 200 known derivations of the Erin root.
Elizabeth is the Greek form ÎλιÏ(Ï)Î¬Î²ÎµÏ Elis(s)avet of the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance." Derived from Elizabeth are many short forms and nicknames that are used in English-speaking countries; these include, but are not limited to, Babeth, Babette, Bess, Bessie, Bessy, Bet, Beth, Bethanne, Bethey, Betsie, Betta, Bette, Bettina, Betty, Bizzy, Buffy, Eli, Elisa, Elise, Eliza, Ellie, Elsie, Elspeth, Ilsa, Isabel, Isabella, Isobel, Lib, Libby, Liesl, Lili, Lilli, Lilie, Lillie, Lily, Lilly, Lilibet, Lilibeth, Lillibeth, Lillibet, Lilla, Lillah, Lisa, Lisbet, Lisbeth, Liz, Liza, Lizz, Lizzette, Lidabet, Lizzie, Lizine, Lizzy, Sissi, Tess, Tetsy, and Tetty.
