What do you think of the nickname Betty?

A guilty pleasure. It took me years to actually see its charm. I prefer it to Betsy, Bess, Bessie or even Beth, as far Elizabeth diminutives/derivatives go.

I like it. And I know it's a little bit of a stretch but I think it's divine as a nickname for Beatrix.

I like the idea of using Babette as full name (after my mum whom’s name ends in ette)

I think so too. I secretly hope I’ll have a daughter before that so I can call her Betty :)

Despite not being my favorite nickname for Elizabeth (I much prefer Elsie), I can see it making a comeback very soon. It would be delightful to see it back on the charts.

So cute, and actually pretty cool. I used to find it boring; now I'd kill to meet a young Betty. It's so much more refreshing than Ellie.

Very old fashioned.
