Names to go with Betty

Any names to go with Betty? Either with Betty as the first name or middle name. Also open to any slight adaptations of Betty e.g. Betsy etc

Thanks!

Are you having Betty as the given name or will Elizabeth be on the birth certificate?

Don’t use it as a first name, if she’s overweight or unliked she’ll get called sweaty Betty.

Naughtykitty · 16/12/2018 17:52

We were thinking on just Betty, not Elizabeth. I hadn't even made that link!

I think I prefer it as a middle name but it's hard to find a name that goes with it!

Hadn't thought of those horrible nicknames...food for thought!

My MIL middle name was Betty. She was called that because there was a bet she would be born on her mothers birthday and she was. First name EIleen

Prefer Betsy to Betty. Would go for Elizabeth if using it as a first name though, as both Betsy and Betty sound a bit too familiar for formal, grown-up stuff.

Mwnci123 · 16/12/2018 22:10

Also, I like Betsan.

Don’t worry about things not going with s middle name, because they roll only be on medical notes and legal papers. I’ve nebrr had my middle name used alone or in conjunction with my first.
She might choose to go by her second name, but it still wouldn’t need to go with her first name.

Picknickers · 16/12/2018 22:55

Much prefer Betty to Betsy which sounds like a rabbit's name to me. Also, most names can get horrible nns if kids think hard enough! My sis in law's mum is Betty. I asked sis in law what mn was and if Betty was short for anything. She was named Betty Anna on bc.

I don't like the name, but if I had to choose, then Betty Lou. Smile

Thetigerwhocameto · 17/12/2018 01:30

I’d use it as a middle name, or use Elizabeth as a first name and call DD Betty, if she then decides she doesn’t like it she has options.

Elizabeth as a first name may give you more middle name options 😊
