Can Betty be a nickname for anything other than Elizabeth?

[Bumperlicious]

Or perhaps Bettina, which I really like

I think Betty is a really cute name, but not keen on Elizabeth.

Bethany

Beth

Beatrice (if you want it to be)

bette

Elspeth?

Betiana?

Thanks for the ideas, Beatrice is also very high on my list.

Beatrix

I think you could use Betty on it's own.

betty is horrid.makes me think wee wummin with moustache.smokes tabs.drinks.a lot

I know a small Bethany who is known as Betty.

I like it but then I like her so maybe there's a connection.

Bethan/Bethany

My Aunt Bette's name was Rebecca. No idea why she called herself Bette.

bethan/bethany are v nice,betty is vile

Indeed it can.
Emmeline

My neighbour is Lizabette, pronounced Liza as in Manelli) she gets Betty

My DD (Bethany) always called herself Betty and we loved it.

scottishmummy, have we met?

I know a Betty whose full name is Betul (Turkish in origin I believe and I think you're suppposed to have an accent over the 'u'). She is very attractive, not a hint of a moustache but she does drink/smoke a lot.

LOL,bettythe builder you challenged me to arm wrestling.you won.have meet your pal hairy mary,shes a stoater too

Betty is short for Bethilda.

Bethan

I used to know a Bettina - who used Betsy as a nickname - I quite like that

I think Betty is lovely on it's own.

scottishmummy - you must have met my betty then, she's doing well for a 4 year old

[disclaimer: my betty does not smoke tabs but does drink a lot - of milk and apple juice that is!]

Obviously, I love the name Betty. My dd is actually Elizabeth but is more often than not called Betty. (FWIW, I wasn't too keen on Elizabeth either but the other 2 dds and dh won! It's grown on me, but I much prefer the spelling "Elisabeth".)
