So my husband and I are miles apart on names, and one crossover we found was that I like [name_f]Bess[/name_f] and he likes [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]. Neither of us cares for nicknames as first names nor do we like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
Does anyone have any creative suggestions for a formal name for [name_f]Bess[/name_f]/[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]? I thought of [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], but my husband doesn’t like it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] for a sense of style: my faves ([name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]); his faves ([name_f]Raina[/name_f], [name_f]Frida[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Geneva[/name_f]).
Thanks!
A name ending in [name_f]Bella[/name_f] could work? [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]/[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]/[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]?
[name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]? [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is definitely my fave though.
Your names are gorgeous though - especially love [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f].
[name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Embeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Maribeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bettina[/name_f]…
What about [name_f]Betsan[/name_f]?
[name_f]Bettina[/name_f] was my first thought. I also know a Bessima who goes by [name_f]Bess[/name_f].
Some other possibilities:
[name_f]Abelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Babette[/name_f]
[name_f]Beata[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernice[/name_f]
[name_f]Berthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Bette[/name_f]
[name_f]Bettine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Hebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]
[name_f]Verbena[/name_f]
