Love Flora (DP not sure) and Betty (not convinced it works with B surname). I've got a huge list but no others I love. Please throw some other suggestions at me.

Looking at the names you like I'd suggest Clara or Lorna (similar sounds/length) as alternatives to Flora

Harriet (Hattie) would be cute as an alternative to Betty, I also know a friend with a Mattie (short for Matilda). Or maybe Lottie (Charlotte).

Or maybe Bella (on its own or as a non for Isabelle/Isobel) as a sort of combination of the two?

Rose and Mabel are lovely and I do like Clara but someone I know just used it. Some nice suggestions, thank you.

Another form of Flora, such as Fleur?
Or another form of Elizabeth for Betty, such as Lizzie
/ Lisbeth / Elspeth / Beth / Eliza?

Thora
Fleur
Lara

spring to mind

My DD is nn Betsy but it came about totally organically...she has a B name that is nothing like it.

You could get a betsy/Bette/Betty/Bess nn from loads of names...
