Favorite names starting with B
Boy, girl, classic, invented, kr8tif, nature, word, literature, Biblical, rare, popular, modern, ancient…anything goes.
Feel free to simply list or to elaborate on why.

Thanks for all the responses so farI have such trouble thinking of B names I like, but I'd like combos that would make the child's initials BETH (my dearest cousin is Bethany, my last name starts with H).
At any rate, either today or tomorrow, I'll probably be posting a part two asking for opinions on specific names and combos.

I'm actually really leaning towards Emmaus for a boy and Ever for a girl as middles. Though I'd much rather dh go for Hosanna as a fn.

Emmaus is a great idea! Dang husbands having their own opinions, eh? :)

B is not my favourite letter, for no particular reason, it just doesn't appeal to me.I love Brenna for a girl. I also like Brigitta, and Bailey is a GP of mine.
For the boys, Boaz and Boston are both on my short list. I also like Bennett (mainly cause of the meaning!).And thats seriously about it.

Barry -- I've never given this one a lot of thought, but now that I do think of it, I like it. I imagine a guy named Barry being nice and handsome.Bathsheba -- Definitely a guilty pleasure, but I like it.Bedelia -- Captures why I almost like Amelia, but avoids what I hate about Amelia, the "meel" sound. But I think it's a nickname in Ireland, and I don't like nicknames as full names.Boyd -- I like this for the same reason I like Wade, it's Civil War Era-ish to me.Bradley -- Same reason I like Barry.BrendaBrennaBrent -- Guess I like the "bren" sound.Bridget -- Ugly yet charming.Bronwen --Just like it.Bryony -- So pretty.Bud -- but only as a nickname.ANDBuffy

Benjamin- Sounds handsome, yet classic. Benji is my preferred nn.
Booker- Booker DeWitt, from Bioshock Infinite, gave it a positive namesake.
Bethany- Classic, IMO. Sweet, but not weak.

I honestly do not care for any female names that start with B. I don't really know why, just seems that everyone if them I either dislike or just flat out, don't care for like Brianna, Blythe, Bianca, Bea, etc (any female B name you can think of, odds are, I wont care for it)
Males names starting with this letter on the other hand isn't an issue.I really like Brody. Benjamin is nice too (: there may be others I'm sure but cant think kf them at the very moment
