Girls name that begin with B?

34 replies

Any ideas for a girls name which begins with B as a middle name for Lily/Lilith.

Doesn't have to be unusual but definitely open-minded to unusual names.
All ideas gratefully received! :)

I had a friend called Bronwyn at primary school (think it's Welsh), and know a Birna (Danish). Both are lovely people. I did see Bridget up thread, but I like Brigitte better (sounds a bit less harsh IMO). Otherwise I'm afraid I've nothing more to add to what's already been posted Grin

My DD's name Beatrix. Or why not just plain Bea? My grandma was Berta and I wanted a name close-ish to that but not quite so old fashioned. Watch the move Miss Potter and you'll be a convert!

I thought of another... Blythe. I think it's Gwyneth Paltrow's Mum's name. So it might possibly be Welsh?

Hee hee Bunty :) Was it ever a popular name, before the magazine I wonder? Is it a NN or a made up name?

Oh and I know a Danish Birtha.

Any reason for the B? It's not an easy letter for names. I'm trying boys names now and I've only managed Ben and Brian.
