Re: Bess
I think it's alright. I mean, Bess as a first name short for Elizabeth... it's a lot like Beth.Stella Bess is an awful combo IMO. Sort of ugly, and like it is unconsciously trying to sound a little like Stellar Best. I don't get cow from Bess, but I do a little from Bessie. All dated-seeming B-names have, in my mind, the potential impression of someone vulgar and stout, but I don't think it's bad for a person Bess. I guess the name might seem less appealing when the bearer herself fits that image.
