How to get to Bea?

Girl Names

Hey Berries,

[name_f]Bea[/name_f] is a family name but, my husband doesn’t like it as a stand alone name. What names could use [name_f]Bea[/name_f] as a nickname? The only ones I can think of is [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] which sadly my husband HATES!

Help!

Maybe [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]?

Anything that begins with ‘B’ that you may prefer:
[name_f]Briana[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]

[name_f]Belle[/name_f] / [name_f]Bella[/name_f] / [name_f]Belen[/name_f] / [name_f]Beth[/name_f]

[name_f]Bethan[/name_f] / [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] / [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] / [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]

[name_f]Alba[/name_f] / [name_f]Maybeth[/name_f] / [name_f]Mabelle/name_f / [name_f]Beverly[/name_f]

[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] / [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] / [name_f]Libby[/name_f] / Thisbee

Except for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], the first one that comes to my mind is [name_f]Behati[/name_f].

I do like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]! I also thought of [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] too!

7

Too bad about [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]! I adore her, and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is so cute. Both vintage and quirky, but also sort of modern with that “X”! I love it.

I think really any “B” name could work. [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], etc. Or even something that ends in -by, like [name_u]Ashby[/name_u] (although I don’t know that [name_u]Ashby[/name_u] goes that great with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]. I would expect [name_u]Ashby[/name_u] to be a brother to [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], not a sister…). I know a lot of people will go by their first initial as a nn ([name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Em[/name_f], [name_f]Dee[/name_f], etc., for [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Marissa[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], etc.), thought, so something like [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] would be adorable!

Good luck!
