Are these too boring?

What do you think of Anne or Bette? I'm not overly keen on Annabel but do like Anne. It makes me think of Anne Hathaway who is one of my favourite actresses and gives the name a really elegant and classy connotation for me. I am also growing more and more find of Bette and think Betty is a cute nn. Husband quite likes them but thinks they are a bit boring. Kate is one of his faves which I also like but can't see why he thinks bette is dull, yet likes Kate.

Husband also really likes Veronica. I do think Ronnie is a cute nn but not sure if it's just a bit too masculine?

I love Anne, classic and pretty. You could use Annie as a nickname to liven it up if you feel the need.

Not keen on Bette I just think gambling bet. What about Elizabeth with Betty as a nickname?

I only like Kate as a nickname for Katherine.

I like Veronica and I don't think that it matters that Ronnie is unisex, it is cute and tomboyish and she would have a very feminine full name to fall back on.

I'm not keen on Ronnie, or Bette. I prefer Anna to Anne, and think Kate is gorgeous.

Anne is pretty but could be quite dull- if not Annabel, then Annabeth, Annaliese, Annika? Anna sounds more cheerful, I think.

I don't really like Bette tbh, it sounds kind of old. Betsan, Bethan, Elizabetta, Elizabet, Elizabeth?
