Horrible. I know a Bessie and that's just her name but Bess is traditionally a diminutive of Elizabeth.

I'd be genuinely furious with anyone who inflicted a horror like Bertha on their child.

I get that it's cool to use the less obvious vintage names, but some names are redundant for good reason. Because they're very fucking ugly.

Bess and Thea are both lovely names.

Bertha IS NOT.

Big Bertha.
Don't do it.

I think the association would be Big Bertha (I didn't actually know the military source of this but it's what came to mind). I very rarely think 'that will mean bullying' about a name, but she's a bigger lass it would be awful having that constantly.

What about Beata, Roberta nn Bertie, or just Thea?

I personally don’t like it.
