Love old names, but I think Joan is too "old lady" right NOW, if that makes sense. Maybe the next generation will find it fresh, but all the Joans I know are elderly, so that’s what I think of.
Betty is a super-cute nickname for Elizabeth, but I wouldn’t use it on it’s own. I know a little Elizabeth who goes by Betsy and I think that’s darling.
Helen/a is lovely, and it means "light".
