I have been day dreaming a lot about [name_f]Bette[/name_f] . [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think this name is useable or well received? Could this name stand on its own ?
I am thinking that [name_f]Bette[/name_f] could be an honour nod to [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (honour names)
What would you pair as a middle name ?
I think it’s wearable! Definitely. Would you pronounce it like [name_f]Betty[/name_f] or like [name_f]Bett[/name_f]?
Is this like [name_f]Betty[/name_f]? Or like [name_f]Bet[/name_f] in the way you pronounce it? I’m guessing [name_f]Betty[/name_f]… I think it’s usable and could stand alone, certainly in a middle name spot.
I went to school with a [name_f]Bette[/name_f] (“betty”). I didn’t like her much, but she had a very nice name! It was always well received.
I would put as a middle:
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Viridis[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Acadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Merewen[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
I prefer it as a nickname, but I think it works as a full name!
I wouldn’t be sure how to pronounce it though. I’m guessing it’s not [name_f]Bettie[/name_f], or else you’d spell it like that, so it’s either [name_f]Bet[/name_f] or [name_f]Betta[/name_f]?
@hellobanjo @elanorelle @tallemaja @rosepip Thank you for your quick replies
I would probably stick with the [name_f]Bette[/name_f] ([name_f]Bet[/name_f]) Midler pronunciation
I love [name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f] however I would probably avoid a J name in the middle
I see what you mean about the initials… I hadn’t thought of that. For the bet pronunciation, I love [name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]!
Bette is simple and sweet

Bette is super cute. I’d go for something like [name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]
I think it would be a great honour nod to [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
As for being able to stand on its own, [name_f]Bette[/name_f] Midler (birth name: [name_f]Bette[/name_f] [name_u]Davis[/name_u] Midler) has carried it well all these years and I think it’s time for someone to carry it on. It’s definitely wearable in today’s world, so I would say go for it.
