Lizzy

Lizzie

Bess

Well, Bette, I married you as Bess and I've always liked that name. It's a name you don't hear very often; it's a strong name like you. Every time I call you Bette I'm afraid somebody else might answer..

Libby

Betty

People in the last century weren't afraid of homely names; now we are all so smart and fine: no more Lady Bettys now.
