Came across it on a Netflix programme I’ve been watching and thought it was quite different to all the soft sounding girls names popular at the moment.

@WilyKat Audrey will forever ruined for me because of Coronation Street, despite loving Audrey Hepburn. So totally get what you mean there.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider as my op might suggest, I don’t like sweet, pretty, cutesy names particularly. So Betsy is a no for me.

I think it’s horrible. Betsy is far prettier and sweeter

I don't like the Bet pronunciation myself. Makes me think Bet Lynch.
