HelpRe: Nicknames for Beverly?
in reply to a message by Ismene
I know a Beverly "Bev" who is in her thirties. It totally suits her and beyond that I think it's a really soft, lovely name.
If you didn't care for Bev, then maybe Bee? It's cute and has an old-fashioned sensibility to it that can be fashionable.
I could see Betty working. It might seem like a bit of a stretch but Betty is a nickname that I associate with being a catch-all. I've met a Bathsheba "Betty" before; it didn't ruffle my feathers that it wasn't a complete natural jump from one to the other.
ETA: Or Bess. It looks just as much like the conventional associated full name Elizabeth as it does Beverly, IMO, so maybe this?
