Betty or Betsy

[LuluLovesYou]

So I have narrowed my choices down to these two. I know they are pretty similar but which wold you choose?

Both cute but I think Betsy is 'cooler' somehow... Not sure why!

Betty! My dd3 is Elizabeth and we shorten her name to Betty (although she is Elizabeth at school!) Although Betsy is rather cute too. Would this be the "full" name, or is it short for something? Aren't I very helpful?!

ooh lovely. I would call her Elizabeth and then Betty or Bessie. Betsy is nice but awkward in the mouth - if that doesn't sound too strange!

Did you know in the magic faraway tree books the Bessie has been renamed to Beth because it is deemed more 'modern'? Misguided I say.

Betsy Betsy Betsy Betsy Betsy!

Betty.

@ FrigFrig.....I'm guessing you like Betsy then

Love both! Sorry not helpful! And they could both be shortened to Bette which I also love.

Uh...well....maybe just a leetle bit

Betsy.

I like both but slightly prefer Betsy.

Prefer Betsy

Betty is very sweet. Have known a couple, from babies to in their 80s and all have been kind, clever and somehow cool!

Betsy does not sound nice and looks ugly written down, imo. Also sounds to me like a stage school brat, though that could be the Denise van Outen connection.

I prefer Bess/Bessie!
But out of those two I prefer Betsy.

I prefer Betty. Betsy is a bit cutesy-poo (though I kind of like it too)

Clara Bean yeah I like Bessie but my df always called his cars Bessie

Betty is best.

Betsy is twee and wet IMO.

Betsy!

Betsy ! But think I would call her Elizabeth and nn to Betsy .

I Know a Betsy-Coco & a Betsy-Rose. Both names appear as they are on the bc. Personally, I would go for Elizabeth & then shorten it to Betsy. An adult Betsy might not be taken seriously if she becomes a high court judge but an Elizabeth would!

Betty is way cooler than Betsy IMO. Betsy sounds more cutesy and suitable for a baby, but as an older child and teenager Betty has a great ring to it.
Bette Davis eyes.... (I know it's a different spelling but..)
