I kind of like Beverly at the moment. I think it's sweet. What do you think? Dated or ready for a comeback?

Do you know anyone named Beverly or Beverley etc? Do they go by Bev? I only like Beverly, no nickname. Are the Beverlys you know older than 40 or so?

Do you prefer Beverly or Beverley?

Since it was never overused, I don't think of it as dated nor as something to make a comeback... I know a few Beverlys, at least 2 of which are Beverly Joy, but mostly go by Bev. 2 are over 40 and 2 are under 40. I think 2 es in the name are quite sufficient. Looks weird to me with an extra e.

It feels dated, but I also kinda of like it. This is especially weird for me because I'm usually not really into "B" names, especially for girls. I think it might be ready to make a come back soon.

Nope, don't know any.

Beverly.

I have an aunt named Beverly. She's older than 40 and goes by Bev, and I think it's a great name.

I can't imagine seeing the name Beverly on a younger person, but I think it would be really nice to see. I'd probably prefer it spelled Beverly; Beverley has too many e's.

Growing up, I had a friend whose mother was named Beverly. She went by Bev. I also knew another Beverly who also went by Bev. Both are older than 40. I don't think I've met any Beverlys younger than 40 or so, but I'd really like to meet a little Beverly. I think it's a nice name.

I prefer the spelling Beverly.
