Which short and sweet vintage name would you choose?

Disclaimer: I know most berries feel quite strongly about having a long-form name (lol), which I would still consider if there’s one we love, but we like them as standalone! Why choose a name they won’t really be called?
However, I would pair them with a longer 3-4 syllable middle if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,

I could’ve chosen either! I love them both.
I went with [name_f]Bea[/name_f] because I also love Bees 
I’m on the opposite end of a lot of berries, where I LOVE nicknames as full names! [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is a favourite of mine, so I have to go with her 
Lou [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (2 syllables, but still quite fem)
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
They are both so cute, but I love the imagery of [name_f]Bea[/name_f]!
Where I live, “loo” is a common word for toilet. Although this might not be a thing everywhere
Love [name_f]Bea[/name_f]!

[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Arrietty[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (always a favourite of yours I think?)
I love both but I picked [name_u]Lou[/name_u]!
I love [name_f]Bea[/name_f], but [name_u]Lou[/name_u] just feels stronger on its own for some reason. Both are adorable, though! 
Bea [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f]
I love both [name_f]Bea[/name_f] and [name_u]Lou[/name_u] so much, but if it’s as a standalone name, I’ll choose [name_u]Lou[/name_u]! I think [name_u]Lou[/name_u] stands on it’s own just a little bit better than [name_f]Bea[/name_f].
Some middle ideas:
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (my favorite!)
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] / [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
I love these two as stand alone names but i think i like [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is my favourite - bright and lovely
Bea [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
I love both and both were on my list for my own [name_f]Bea[/name_f]! I preferred longer forms but I also love them on their own. Someone on here suggested [name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] to me, I think that’s so cute! For [name_u]Lou[/name_u], maybe [name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]?
I love [name_f]Bea[/name_f] on its own. I too prefer shorter, nickname proof first names.
So many great middles already suggested … how about:
Bea [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]

[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u]
It’s hard to choose, I usually tend to prefer [name_u]Lou[/name_u] but it could be associated with the wrong things so…

[name_u]Lou[/name_u] [name_f]Jessamyn[/name_f]
I LOVE [name_u]Lou[/name_u]. And I agree… I’m into naming what they’ll be called, nickname or not.
