AIBU in thinking there should be more Beverleys?

[TiggyD]

Beverleys are all kind and warm people who make excellent nurses and dinner ladies. I think just being called Beverley (or Beverly) makes people cuddly and loving. Nerys Hughes would make a wonderful Beverley. As far as I know, there has never been a major war started by somebody called Beverley.
Maybe criminals/members of parliament should be made to change their names to Beverley to make them change their naughty ways?

It always makes me think of Beverly Macker

One of the nicest, kindest people I have ever known was named Beverley (well 'Bev' mostly).

It is a male name as well- maybe some mn's should start a trend- lots of small boys called Beverly.

Another Beverley here! I'm also 44 - I used to dislike my name but have grown to love it. Most people call me Bev.

My first holiday crush was a boy called Beverley.

So there.

I have also been out with a Lindsey.

my sister's a Beverly.
She prefers Bev (cos everyone she knows pronounces it "bev-lehhhhh")

She's not that cuddly. But she is lovely and generous.
and she's a fab mummy.

My mum is a Beverley and fwiw she is a horrible, horrible woman!

Is it a Welsh name, cwtch? (I know I could just google but its more sociable to ask)

Not a welsh name.

I know a Beverly... Not a v nice person as a work colleague and friend but another Bev I work with is lovely :) I think they cancel each other out!

My mum is a Beverley and GUESS WHAT TIGGY D?

She is bosomy, cuddly AND a dinnerlady (well, kind of. She is a catering manager) There is a picture of her on my profile.

I'm a Beverley. I am absolutely none of these things. Except the bosomy bit. Definitely not matronly though. I don't particularly like my name. I wish I had been called Rebecca.

There are not enough Mirandas around, pr Pamelas.

I think we now have conclusive proof that whilst not all Beverleys are nice, they sare indeed ALL bosomy.

There is a Bev that works in my local branch of Wilkos. She has brown medium length hair, she's a bit chubby and has a friendly face. She doesn't look like she would harm anyone. That is my only experience of the Beverley.

The male version of Beverley is Trevor.

Bev 'n' Trev.

That's just my opinion, it isn't really.

I know someone whose wife is called Bev and whose best friend is Trev. S you must be right.

hmm only know of one...MENTAL bunny boiler

Used to work in the same place as one. She was bosomy, in a monoboob way, but sadly was nit-picky, bureaucratic, petty, and on the one occasion I needed her professional help, incompetent and actually downright unpleasant.

Sorry ...

The Beverley I know is not bosomy or matronly - she is actually very attractive and lovely. She has the best smile of anyone I know. I'm not sure I would want to be told that my name would make me a great dinner lady (no offence to dinner ladies).

"I like Demis Roussos, Ange likes Demis Roussos..."

I flipping love 'Forever and Ever' and no I am not being clever or ironic here!

But like you, I can't look beyond Abigail's Party when it comes to Beverley.
