I rarely see this as a full name but I'm honestly not against it, I think it could be super pretty as a given name. If you prefer it as a nickname, I think it could be cute and short for Beatrice, Elizabeth, or Bridget. πŸ’œ.

Excuse me, Anonymously User who says that Bea isn’t a name? That is just plain out dumb. My name is Bea and it is a name so don’t be such a smart Alec. It is a name.
To the person above me, saying that a letter can't be a name is ridiculous. What about Dee? Or Jay? Or Elle? Shall I continue, there are a few more. I think Bea is perfectly acceptable.
