I saw a little bit of this movie once that was about 1950’s Pin-up Girl Bettie Page. I have also heard this name a lot lately. It is a short name that can be a stand alone name or a nickname for Elizabeth or Beatrice. It has a good meaning and is a name that’s easily pronounced. It’s a cute name with a very early American sound to it (I don’t know why I feel that way).
