Re: Billie
in reply to a message by I_Love_Jesus
I think Billie has a lot of homespun charm, but it's pretty juvenile and very boyish so I prefer it as a nickname for something like Willa or Wilhelmina. That would give a child options as she ages.
I've met a couple Billies, and they've all been over 60, so the name seems older than middle aged to me. On the other hand, actress Carrie Fisher named her daughter Billie Catherine in 1992--there's at least one young Billie out there. :)
I would say Billie is an absolute no go, however, if you're committed to Betty Jean. They're too close.
