Classic Girls' Names Starting with "B"?

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], I am currently researching classic girls’ names that are timeless and have been used throughout history. Are there any “b” names for girls that fit the criteria that you can think of?

Great suggestions above. I can only think of a few others:

[name_f]Betty[/name_f] and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] – originally nicknames but they’ve been stand-alones, too, for decades if not centuries.

Some of these are dated but these have been around along time:

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Berengaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f]
[name_f]Bettina[/name_f]
[name_f]Belinda[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] / [name_f]Blancha[/name_f] is a lovely one. :white_heart:

Some others that come to mind are [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Bessie[/name_f], and [name_f]Birdie[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are:
[name_f]Bess[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Beata[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
[name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] / [name_f]Brigitta[/name_f]

I thought of [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]

15

[name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] are what came to mind

16

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] come to mind. I take classic as meaning they’ve been used pretty consistently for centuries. [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] is out just at the moment after a big spike in the 1930s and 40s, but otherwise has had continued use for a long time. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] was very popular mid to late nineteenth century, but has been consistently used before and after that period.
