Poppy & Betty ?

[aliceandkids77]

Hi dolls,
I asked about Molly Alice/Scarlett Alice a few days ago, and now that my baby will be soon (I’m in labour rn and the effort to write this has been very hard to find!) I’ve realised I should go with the name I’ve loved FOREVER and it’s been my favourite name before Pop’s was born.
Betty has been my favourite, and I’m going with it because isn’t Betty Alice just darling?
Its set in stone so please no mean comments, I just wanted to know how Poppy and Betty sound together to you lovely ladies, especially because they are names in very different styles.
thank you loves x

Love them! Good luck with your new little bundle of joy

I don't like the name Betty. That's not a mean comment though. That's just a difference of opinion. Will she be Elizabeth. I love the similar sounding Betsy though.
I think Poppy and Betty go well together. Both short sweet and five letters long.

They sound like a singing and dancing duo who'd flash a bit of thigh and entertain the troops in WWII. Nothing wrong with that!

And I mean, they're not really very different in style. Five letter names, with a double consonant and ending in a y.

And I've just noticed that you're in labour right now! Very best of luck!

Lovely! Similar enough to ‘match’ and yet totally different at the same time!

I think Poppy and Betty sounds lovely. Or Betsy to confuse things further!

Gorgeous names! I love the name Betty

How are you doing? I prefer Betty to the other options and it goes nicely with Poppy. Hope she’s here safely soon!

Betty is fab! Such a friendly name. As is Poppy.

Is Betty here? I like it, I couldn't use it though as I know two Betty's, and their both dogs. Spoils it for me lol

They're

I adore the name Betty, it was in my final three. I got myself very worried about the brand called Sweaty Betty, which is ridiculous as there are so many worse associations you could have. If you love it, go for it.

Dolls?

It's ok if you don't mind them both being 'ee' names.

They sound good. Both lovely names. ( I'm a Betsy fan though!) Good luck

I too love Betsy

I take it OP that you don’t live in an area where the glottal stop is common? Said without the TTs the name sounds awful.
Not a favourite of mine but then my aunt, recently deceased at nearly 100 was called that. It’s becoming more popular recently so I suppose a lot of people do like it.
Best wishes to you and your little girls whatever you call DD2

I too prefer Betsy, and I also know someone who has a Betty that's a pet.

hi everyone , thank you for the very nice & supportive comments on my name choice. Betts is here healthy and happy at last! thank you again this really made me go for the name Betty! (to the person asking if she was Elizabeth: no, simply Betty.) Xx

Yay. Congratulations. .
for baby Betty and a for little Poppy, too.

Good luck, i hope everything is going well for you!

Lovely names.

( my mum's hairdresser is called Betty and she is 21 on Saturday!)

Congrats OP!

She call also go by Bette for a bit of glamour!
