Not a fan. It's really dated. It kinda reminds me of a schoolmarm.

Bright, happy, old lady, but I don't mean that as a negative, at all.

I haven't read the other posts, but I'm sure I'm the only one who really likes it. I just think it's a happy name. It makes me smile. :)

Middle-aged to elderly and a raspy voice. Nothing else comes to mind except "The Beverly Hillbillies". And the word "beverage". I don't care for it. I don't like the "Bev" syllable, although the rest of the name isn't bad.

Beverly sounds hot dated and dowdy. I don't think it's a pretty sounded name at all.

I have an aunt named Beverly. She’s in her late 50s and that’s the age group with which I tend to associate the name. It’s a really pretty name, but it does seem dated to me. Maybe it will be ready for a revival in 10 years or so.

I think it’s really cute; classy, retro. It’s youthful, but I think it’s a name one can grow up with, rather than outgrowing it.

I actually really like Beverly! I think it's retro-chic, cute, cool and still a bit dated to most people (not to me, I think it's ready for a comeback!). I don't really care for Bev but as it has only three syllables I think people will call her by her full name if you call her by that. I guess it was a bit of a 40s/50s middle class cheerleader sort of name back then. Now it's an old lady's name but one I really like :)
