I have to say that i love it and i would only use it on its own, i would not register the child as
Elizabeth.
Bess is seriously in the running for no4 due next year - i love it BUT
Betty and
Betsy are quite popula in the baby / toddler groups in my area so i am wondering if it is better avoided, lest it catch on and possibly appear faddy.
I dont know i am having a bit of a crisis about this name at the moment.
I love
Bess and
Bessie
love
Clara
