HelpRe: Bess
in reply to a message by Tuesday
I like it better than lispy Beth, but not as much as most other Elizabeth nns, especially Betsy and Betsan. Don't like Bethan, though.
My mother's name was Beatrice. She attracted nns, not always related to her name (she preferred but never got the full form). One of her friends always called her Bess - nobody else ever did, and nobody ever knew why. So it's got quite pleasant personal associations, but not enough to make me like it enough to use.
