Mike P. is correct. Loftus' friends (of which I count myself as one) call her "Beth."
Since Scott didn't bite on the Ralph/Elizabeth line, let me explain that it is possible that some people may have a first name spelled "Ralph" but pronounced "Elizabeth", comparable to this classic situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyQvjKqXA0Y Also check out the cosmetic surgery sketch. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] -----Original Message--- On Wednesday, May 06, 2015 6:16 PM, Mike Palij wrote:

The Murdoch Faux News network apparently started the rumor and Shepard Smith
had to do an on-air apology. For one source on this, see: http://www.people.com/article/fox-news-anchor-shepard-smith-apologizes-false-shooting-report
Btw,does Loftus appreciate being called Liz?
I believe that friends and relatives call her Beth. Scott L can confirm.
However, you can try calling her Liz and see where it gets you. ;-)
I have known some professors who insist on being addressed as Elizabeth
Really? Did their first name happen to be Ralph? Just asking.
