Can't face the others - sorry! I've never encountered a Binnie: is it short for Belinda? Benedicta?

Binnie is a nickname for Bernice, Beatrice and Belinda.
Beatrice is a family name, and from the 19th century till today they've all been known as Bea or Beattie; I sometimes call my daughter Tris. And the only Bernice I know was called Bernie if anything; she usually went by the full name, which her family believed was after her father, Bernard!
