I love it but will everyone else hate it?

SugarBeth · Mar 28th, 2012, 10:06 AM

DH and I decided that our next girl will be named Elizabeth Rose. He loved the name Elizabeth, I loved Rose so we're going with it. But I hate the nicknames Liz, Lizzy, Eliza, etc. I want to do something fun and different with her nickname.

I came up with two. I'd want everyone to call her Libby Rose, like everyone calls our Katherine Isabelle "Katie Belle." But as a special nickname, my mom and I would (and perhaps it would catch on?) call her SugarBeth. Yes, it's my username, but that has nothing to do with it. It came from a book that my mother and I both love.

I hope to open a bakery in the near future and think that having a little Katie Belle and SugarBeth there would be fitting and adorable. Though most would call her Libby, her bakery apron would say SugarBeth and that's what my family and I would call her.

What does everyone think of it? What would you think of a little girl nicknamed SugarBeth?

What kind of person does the name conjour up to you ?

When I asked some friends about the name, they thought it sounded like a very snotty behaving girl that thought she was better then everyone else, so they didn't like the name. What is your thoughts on the sound of the name ?

As long as she also goes by Libby, then I think it is perfectly fine and adorable!!

I think it's cute, and lovely that you have meaning attached to the name

SugarBeth · Mar 28th, 2012, 18:09 PM

Thank you both!

If that's what you want to call her then go for it. As you can see from my siggy below my children all have strange nicknames. I call them these names all the time...

It's really not to my personal taste but I always believe if you love something you should go for it.

To me SugarBeth sounds a bit tacky I don't think it goes very well seems kind of random, if I saw someone working in a bakery with ne badge sugarbeth id probably have a laugh though. lol x

I think Libby is rather pretty

I think your whole scenario is absolutely precious! And I love the name Libby as well. And when I think of the names Katie Belle and Sugarbeth, I think of 2 adorable little girls!
