More names overheard at a playground:
[name_u]Beverly[/name_u] (about 8 years old) and younger brother [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] (about 4).
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Beverly[/name_u]! Have never met a child [name_u]Beverly[/name_u] before.
Makes much more sense to me than [name_u]Everly[/name_u].
I adore [name_f]Beverley[/name_f]! That is so so cute. Absolutely love that on a little gal!
[name_u]Beverly[/name_u] is lovely! I knew a 20 yro [name_u]Beverly[/name_u] at uni and thought that was cool
I think [name_f]Bev[/name_f] is modern (or maybe I should say futuristic) and then the full form is euphonious.
Best of both worlds.
I wonder if it’s possible for Bev/Beverly to go towards the boy name end of the spectrum?
FYI there is a thread under Baby Names called Name Sightings! https://forum.nameberry.com/t/name-sightings-part-2/
Beverly is great, would love to see it make a comeback!
