in reply to a message by Anneza
The spelling of Bette Davis's name may have come from the French, but her name has always been pronounced Betty.
Bette Davis was born Ruth Elizabeth, by the way. Wikipedia claims that she was nicknamed Betty and changed the spelling based on the character.
Bette Midler is an American named after Bette Davis, whose name is pronounced Bet, because her mother was mispronouncing Davis's name.
