Becky and Betty

[Crumbelina]

Hello,

DD1 is due later this year and my current favourite name for her is Betty (with Elizabeth on the birth certificate if she wants to switch to this when she's older). That said, I'm Becky and I'm wondering if this will lead to any confusion? Any thoughts welcome!

I wouldn't worry about it. Her nickname may evolve into something more distinct. You can't always predict these things.

I don't think it would be confusing I'm assuming you are a Rebecca. Go for it if that's what you want my dd is called Elizabeth

Thanks both! Yes, I'm Rebecca. I might start using it more now I'm getting on a bit. Elizabeth was also my grandmother's name and she was known as Betty.

Oh what a nice tribute to your grandmother op.Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy

presumably at home you'll mostly be 'mum'

Ah yes good point pink pyjamas from now on get used to being called mum or bettys mum lol

Of course! I'll have to get used to being Betty's Mum. DC1 - so much to learn.

I frickin' LOVE the name Betty. I want to have a wee girl to call Betty!!

Haha, thanks Loolah! I feel the same way!

I don't think it would be confusing

Thanks Consuleo! Almost certain will go with Betty now, just need a middle name now ...
