Betty with B surname?

[auntym]

Betty is a family name and I love it but the surname begins with B, do you think this is still an option? Other options I love are Flora and Imogen. Opinions and similar suggestions please

Its not Boop is it?

Our dog it called Betty bump and I think it works well.... her full name is Elizabeth bumpington. Maybe calling the baby Elizabeth as a full name and Betty as a nickname would get round the initials thing but it really depends on what the surname is whether or not it would go.

Like Betty Barnaby on Midsomer Murders?

Flora and Imogen are much more grown up. Betty is cute on a little girl - agree with pp that Elizabeth is better; Betty for short!

Betty B... is fine.

But Flora is just so lovely. And Betty is so normal/average in my personal opinion.

I really like Betsy !

Balls?

Cricket think you might be right.. I do love Flora.

I also love Flora. I wish we could use it! (Wouldn't need to look for an other name for DD2...)

Flora Betty B...?

Congratulations, btw :)!

Imogen is pretty

I love Betty. Right up my alley! Not as cutesy as Betsy and good for all ages I think. It looks like I'm in the minority but I really love it.

I prefer Flora

Thanks for your comments and congratulations.

Bunty - Yes it may be an acquired taste but I think it's a brilliant name

Flora Elizabeth / Elizabeth Flora?

It depends on the surname and how the two names flow. I've known a couple of girls with alliterative names that sounded really glamorous, but my shortened first name/maiden name combination didn't sound good at all. I know it's a Mumsnet 'thing', but I really would suggest you call her Elizabeth officially, so that if she decides she doesn't like Betty B- she can use a different variation with zero hassle.

I know a 5 year old Betty b I like it & she's adorable

Cricket why can't you use Flora?

Boop

I personally love alliterative names! Our surname is B and Betty was one of our shortlist for DD

Elizabeth Flora aka Betty Flo. Love it xx

I love, love, love Betty!

Befure XH and DH I was a Betty B.

Thought it was quite cool even if I say so myself
