I much prefer
Betty.
Bette is bland and dull to me, besides being very dated; I can't see it coming back (although I feel
Betty will make a comeback soon). Nonetheless, I really like
Kim Carnes' song (
Bette Davis' Eyes), a pretty positive association.
In terms of
Elizabeth diminutives,
Elsie is my favourite.
