First Name Troubles

Girl Names
1

So, my mom’s name is [name_f]Betty[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] and her grandma had the same name. My middle name is [name_u]Jean[/name_u] and my first name starts with B. I’m definitely using [name_u]Jean[/name_u] as a middle name, but I don’t like [name_f]Betty[/name_f]. Neither one of them went by [name_f]Betty[/name_f] either. Any suggestions on variations of [name_f]Betty[/name_f] I could use? Maybe a more modern version? I would kinda like the name to start with B, but I can’t find too many names I like.

I’m leaning towards [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u], but my husband doesn’t like it a whole lot.

[name_f]Betty[/name_f] is a diminutive of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], which opens you up to just about any variation of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and not just names starting with B.

I love the earlier suggestion of [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]. It echos [name_f]Betty[/name_f] at both ends, softens it a little and brings it out of old-lady territory.

6

I like the suggestion of [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] too. [name_f]Bella[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is also pretty but I don’t know if that is the vibe you are seeking. I agree with the suggestion that any variation of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be a nice honor.

[name_f]Liza[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
Liddy [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]

I like an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] variation for you!

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Lettie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Becky[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]

I second [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u].

What about:
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u] / [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] ([name_f]Birdie[/name_f])

[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] ([name_f]Edna[/name_f])
[name_f]Brandi[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
[name_f]Beverly[/name_f]
