Bettina

My best friend's 5 year old sister is called Bettina, but everybody calls her Betti.

First heard this name on a classmate of mine. She’s sweet, caring and friendly. Now I associate those qualities with that name.

Like Sabrina, this name sounds ultra-feminine to me, like the name of a girl who grows up dressing up like a little princess and wears pink, frilly, cutesy outfits well into her twenties. It's not a bad name, it is pretty, like Sabrina is, but it sounds like the name of a stereotypically girly young woman or little girl. It's not exactly a bimbo-ish name, just really feminine.

This is my name, and on the whole I like it, although people will try to call me Betty, which sounds like an old lady, or Tina, which I just don't like.

I love Bettina, it's very cute. My friend is called Bettina but for her it's either Betty or Tina because she doesn't seem to think the same.
