Bea short for? Not Beatrice or Beatrix...

[PurpleWithaMysteryBun]

I met a lovely lady called Bea, this made me like this name but I am not keen on Beatrice or Beatrix and I don't know of any other longer names that can be shortened to this?

Any ideas?

Anything beginning with B. I know a Barbara who goes by B.

Thisbe

I have a Bethany and she is often called Bee

Gabriella.

Shortened to Gabby, shortened to Bee.

My cat was called Bianca and I called her Bea!
