I used not to like it because it's dated, but it's actually quite grown on me. Beverly is a pretty name.

I’m torn on how I feel about this name. I've got an adorable grandmother named Beverly, & we maintain a friendly college football rivalry (she likes the Oregon Ducks & I like the Utah Utes). However, the fact that “beaver” is an unfortunate nickname for a woman’s … private area … makes the definition of “beaver stream” sound inappropriate to me. I won’t give someone grief for having the name, but I don’t plan on giving the name to any daughters I may have.

This name is a very respectable name in my mind. Also, the Beverly Cleary association is amazing! For some reason, the name Beverly sounds “bookish” to me; maybe Cleary is why!

Lots of comments saying this is an “old lady” name. Who cares? All old lady names used to be young lady names, and all the young lady names of today will be old lady names in the future. (And who says having an old lady name is a bad thing anyway?)
Beverley is a wonderful name — don’t forget it!

Beverly Crusher is the doctor on Star Trek: The Next Generation and she’s an incredible role model for girls: intelligent, brave, caring and beautiful. It’s also my mother’s name (but spelled the English way, Beverley) so this is high on my list for a future daughter’s middle name.

Well, I have nothing against Beverly. It's funny, because I always believed that Beverly was a very 80s and 90s name, but now I see that no, that it is much more old-fashioned than I thought. Personally, I find Beverly a youthful and rich girl name, but I may be wrong. I wouldn't give it to my daughter, but it's not an ugly name. Better than Ava, Mia, Kaycee, Josie or something like this. Hopefully soon have it return.

The name Beverly doesn't mean "beaver". It is a place name that means "a person who comes from the beaver meadow". There were many place names to identify people in the 1200s when the name BEVER-LEIGH was first recorded. Lea means meadow. It does not mean "beaver" nor does it mean beaver stream as the official meaning here states. Beaver stream is wrong. Beavers are a highly intelligent organized animal. Their fur was much prized by hunters. The use of this name in the 1200s BEVER-LEIGH WAS FOR A MALE WHO EITHER hunted for beaver pelts or lived in a region like Beverley England which was a beaver meadow. It was used for males until around 1905 in the US. Still used for males in other countries. Sorry to dispute the owner of this site but I did my research well. It means person from a beaver meadow...does not mean beaver or beaver stream. I know because I'm a Beverly.

Beverly seems a bit too dated and reminds me of beavers. I do prefer this over Everly, though.

I really like the name Beverly! To me, it is the kind of pretty, unique, old-fashioned name. It used to be common in the forties I believe, but has been out of style ever since the sixties or so. However, I will not be naming my future-child Beverly, but the name still remains beautiful to me. I prefer this spelling of Beverly rather than Beverley. An issue I have with the name is the diminutive "Bev", which I’m not crazy about. The comments about how the name sounds like a beaver are foolish and immature! Grow up already... one of the main reasons I like this name is because one of the protagonists from my favorite novel is called Beverly Marsh. As you can maybe guess, the novel is IT by Stephen King. Overall, Beverly is an oldie but goodie. Many think it hasn’t aged well, and I don’t completely disagree, yet in my opinion, it has aged properly and still remains a damn nice one. Some nicknames for Beverly: Bev, Bevvie, Lee, etc... I’d personally go by Lee, if my name were Beverly. Thanks for reading :)

My name is Beverley and I live in the UK. I'm aged 53 and one of 5 daughters- I am the eldest! As my parents had more and more daughters their girl names became more and more feminine! I dislike my name it sounds old and dated! I don't hear of many but when I do the name always belongs to an older person or of African/West Indies origin. My sisters don't like my name and all call me Bev. Oh well, I guess it could be worse- apparently I was going to be Michelle but my dad came up with Beverley! I feel better about it now that I am older, it sits better I guess. One thing's for sure I would never use it for any daughter of mine which is probably why I got 3 sons!

This is one of the names I absolutely despise! It’s weird, because I like most B names, like Betsy and Buffy. Beverly, though, seems awful and a complete waste of time - maybe because it’s old-fashioned? I like most old-fashioned and/or classic names, though...

My name is also Beverly, at first I don't feel like loving it and even created a name I like and wished to be my name "Kaenah" but then as I grew older and understood the meaning of my name I turned to kinda like it too, it's really a great name to have after all...

My name is Beverly and so I naturally have looked it up many times. I am disappointed to see the meaning changed from "dweller at the beaver meadow" to "beaver stream." Look up the word, Beverly, in any dictionary and it will say "dweller at the beaver meadow." Why is this important? A beaver meadow is the most fertile soil! The name Beverly means prosperity; dweller at the most fertile soil! Why do you suppose they named the most famous rich neighborhood in America, Beverly Hills? Beaver meadows were hunted during the land rush of the 1800's because they meant prosperity to the land owner!
"When the flow of water in a stream is slowed by the beaver dam, soil and organic sediment carried in the water usually settle to the bottom of the beaver pond. When beaver subsequently abandon a locality, their dam eventually breaks and the pond drains leaving a large open space. A meadow usually grows on the nutrient-rich soils that once formed the bottom of the pond. These "beaver meadows" usually have more light penetration, higher soil moisture, more nitrogen and a different vegetation than the adjacent riparian forest." (Johnston et al. 1995; Wright et al. 2002).

Beverly is a place name. It immediately makes me think of California, sun, luxury, people who can do whatever they want, parties, movies, wonderful houses, clothes, cars and objects.
Despite that those are not my favourite kind of associations and meanings, they are clear and lavish.
I would not use Beverly in real life anyway but... for a character or a pet? Of course!
After that I loved the characters of Beverly Penn (played by Jessica Brown Findlay in 'Winter's Tale) and Beverly Marsh (played by Sophia Lillis in 'It').

With the name Beverly there seems to be an obligation among friends to nickname me. I've been Bebo, Beevo, Beeverlee, Boogerly, and more.
Of course, when the TV show Beverly Hillbillies came out, I was just a kid and so got teased about that, too. And my last name also got tons of attention. It's strange in a way to get extra attention only because your name is different. As an adult now I get much less attention over the first name, and I even sometimes miss that!? Strange.

Some people name girls Beverly because in some places it means ambitious, but generally I've seen the ambitious definition only for males, while the definition of beaver meadow pertains to females. I'm okay with both! All the ones I know ARE AMBITIOUS. We stand strong.

This is my mother's name. My grandma says she picked it because it was popular in 1959 and it started with a "B" like her sibling's names (Bradford and Barbara). She says if she knew it meant "beaver" she might have reconsidered, but they like it overall. Just because it's my mother's name I associate it as rather dated, but that's my opinion.

My name is Beverly (Denise). I'm 34 years old and have always felt like I had an "old-fashioned" name. Also, it seems every other Beverly I've ever met has always been an African American woman. I have never met another caucasian Beverly. I guess I should love the rarity of it. I just don't feel like it suits me... or that I look like a Beverly… or a beaver Meadow for that matter.

An interesting spelling is BEVERLEIGH. There are many others... Beverley, Beverlee, Beverlie, Beverli, Beverley, Beverlea.
Also a rare derivative is BEVERLYN. I like that one, too, because it's different.

Someone here said they never met a Beverly that wasn't slow... I beg to differ. My name is Beverly and I have a higher IQ and a degree from a four year University.
I have known at least 7 Beverlys and I can say none are on the slow side.
On a side note, men like all the B names in general for women. Perhaps unconsciously, we are seen as bosomy, but not in a slutty way. I have researched this name and most men like it and see the bearer as sweet, loving and sexy. Many women like it, also, but less so than men and even less with the middle name of Ann. I like it as a stand alone type name, but then double first names just don't do it for me. Think BILLY BOB and BOBBIE SUE and that ilk... whatever.

I have read that for a male named Beverly/Beverley the definition means AMBITIOUS... however, for a female, it means beaver meadow. HMMM
Methinks perhaps a bit of prejudicial thinking going on here a while back and someone writing a baby name book just made up the one.
After all, look at the name. Bever obviously comes from Beaver and the word Lea is still used for meadow, especially in the UK.

I love to research names. In my library there is a book about two feet thick that traces the history of names. Apparently first used for a surname between the 1200-1600s, it was spelled Beaver or Bever then a dash, then Leigh. Since LEA means meadow... Beaver meadow. It was also used commonly as a male given name... ever heard of George Beverley Shea? A great pianist.
On the female usage, it popped up in the 1890s and peaked around the 1930s. Btw, the comedienne May West had a sister named Beverly. Or is that spelled MAE West? Yep...

My name is Beverly. I have come to love it because it is rare, though in my small town there are about twenty of us... all seniors. I do not like the name used with Ann however. My mother didn't even give me a middle name because she said Ann or Sue would be too common.
In England it's a bit more common for a male than in the US. There is a member of the rock band ELO named BEV BEVAN, which is quite unique. For me though, I don't let anyone call me BEV. BEVERLY ages well... sounds both hard and soft, and somewhat dignified and graceful. Not over used like Michelle or Lisa from the 1960s and 70s, or further back, Kathy from the 1950s. Jmho... everyone has their preferences.

My name is Beverly Anne and I was born in 1959. I have ALWAYS hated my name. My mother has passed away and I regret never asking her why she named me Beverly. I think the name gets such a bad rap because of the 1960's show The Beverly Hillbillies! It gave much ammunition to kids poking fun in grade school. Prior to this show (I imagine), the name probably had an elegant air to it (Beverly Hills)! Unfortunately, nobody wants to be associated with "Jed and Granny Clampet"! Even when I was a kid, the name was viewed as belonging to somebody ancient!

When I was younger I never liked her name. But now as an adult I think it is sophisticated and slightly unusual. Although I still wouldn't choose this name for a daughter even though I would love to honor my mother by passing down her name.

My name is Beverly and when I was growing up I used to see the meaning of my name listed in other books as meaning 'ambitious'. To me that means a hard worker and not a burden to others.

I used to dislike my name but now it is not given to babies anymore and I like the meaning and the fact that it is not overused.

Since the name is an English one, I checked with Wikipedia and found that there is a town of 33,000 on the east coast of England (in Yorkshire) facing the North Sea named Beverley. Indeed, there is a beaver on the coat of arms of the city. Beaver has always been a highly sought after fur and because Beverley was a port city, I would guess that this was one of the main places that beaver pelts were traded.
I was hoping to find that I was named after a noble family or beautiful woman, but no such luck, yet. The town was a "market town" and known for enforcing honest weights - and the fines for not using accurate weights made the city very prosperous.
My father was stationed in England before the Battle of the Buldge (Bloody Bucket Brigade) and probably became familiar with the name at that time. Besides being my father, Dad was a war hero and earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart in WWII. I'm proud that he gave me a name that meant something to him.

People with the name Beverly seem to have a problem with being called beaver. Well, maybe they should study beavers for a while. They are second only to humans in creative engineering, and they are extremely clean and hard-working.
I like to think I am smart, and beavers ARE smart, therefore I love the name, and would name my daughter that.
