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 like the name Beatha, means 'life' in Gaelic.

No I give up, too hard, there aren't many B names for girls coming in to my head.

Ooohh I've got another... Bunty.

Beatrice
Beryl (sorry, just popped into head - bit old fashioned but is a pearl/ ruby kind of name)
Bridget
Bryony
Beth/ Bethany

Not sure if any complement Lily/ Lilith though?

I'm sure someone more helpful will be here in a mo....

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.

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

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

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!
