Are these too boring?

What do you think of Anne or Bette? I'm not overly keen on Annabel but do like Anne. It makes me think of Anne Hathaway who is one of my favourite actresses and gives the name a really elegant and classy connotation for me. I am also growing more and more find of Bette and think Betty is a cute nn. Husband quite likes them but thinks they are a bit boring. Kate is one of his faves which I also like but can't see why he thinks bette is dull, yet likes Kate.

Husband also really likes Veronica. I do think Ronnie is a cute nn but not sure if it's just a bit too masculine?

They are it boring. They are classic and feminine. I would rate them as

Anne
Kate
Bette

I prefer Verity to Veronica.

I'm not too keen on Bette either, but as you say Bette/Kate are in a way very similar and I LOVE Kate. Betty is cute though...so maybe Elizabeth if you are really keen on Betty? I also like Anne and I think Ronnie is a nice name although I can't help but think of Ronnie Mitchell!

I like Anne, not keen on Bette.

How about Vanessa as an alternative to Veronica?
