Nice name. Congratulations Smile

If you want unusual then Betsie?

I think your want for a little unique = a lifetime of corrections Hmm

Usual spelling- Betsy

Could get away with Betsie (looks like bestie tho Grin)

Unique-

Betsee
Betsea
Betsey
And your suggestions

Like the name though!

OP did say;

Yes I like the name I just wanted the usual spelling thankyou

a full fifteen minutes ago.

villainousbroodmare · 27/12/2017 18:30

Elizabeth please, take your future adult daughter seriously.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/12/2017 18:32

Betsy.

ElenaBothari · 27/12/2017 18:37

OP obviously just didn't know how to spell it and has already confirmed she will use Betsy. So can people stop having a go at her for wanting a "yoo-neek" spelling please.

MikeUniformMike · 27/12/2017 18:38

Betsy.

MikeUniformMike · 27/12/2017 18:39

I think it's lovely. I'd probably put Elizabeth on bc.

Littlereen · 27/12/2017 18:44

There’s always the welsh spelling - Betsi as an alternative!

MikeUniformMike · 27/12/2017 19:10

Only if you are Welsh or it's a bit ...
If you are Welsh, Betsan is nicer
If you're not welsh or in wales then use Betsy

Bitsandbobsalot · 27/12/2017 19:20

Beautiful name

Pansiesandredrosesandmarigolds · 27/12/2017 19:29

Another vote for Elizabeth.

MrsHoneyMummy · 28/12/2017 16:03

I hadn't thought about Elizabeth, but I agree: it gives your daughter so many more options while still allowing you to call her Betsy.

pipilangstrumpf · 28/12/2017 16:08

Betsy is very cutesy and nicknames.

I would put Bettina or another full name on the bc

villainousbroodmare · 28/12/2017 16:48

Bettina is lovely!

villainousbroodmare · 28/12/2017 16:51

Bettina is lovely!

MyOtherProfile · 28/12/2017 16:56

Bettina was the name of one of the ugly sisters last time we saw cinderella in panto! Betsy is nice. Poor op getting harangued for wanting a unique spelling when she actually just wanted to check the proper spelling!

ByeByePrivacy · 28/12/2017 16:58

Betsy

Branleuse · 28/12/2017 16:59

Elizabeth or Betsy

MikeUniformMike · 28/12/2017 17:02

Bettina was Mrs Antrobus's afghan hound.

LadyLovelace · 28/12/2017 17:03

Mine’s a Betsy sometimes or sometimes a Lizzy. Calling her Elizabeth has given her that choice and she’s glad she has it.

AdidasGirl · 28/12/2017 17:52

Betsy..

thegreylady · 30/12/2017 10:50

Lovely name, my dgd has Betsy as a middle name.

Gingernaut · 30/12/2017 10:51

Betsy.

Short for Elizabeth.

I hate abbreviated names.
