Comments for the name Babette

I always thought this name was French.

This name always remind me of somebody's fancy French poodle with pink bows in her hair and painted toenails. The kind of dog who is carried around and cooed over by a little old rich lady, but whose bark could wake the dead and who wets the floor whenever she gets excited.

Babette´s pet forms: Babs, Betty, Babsi, Betka.

Lorelai's neighbor on the Gilmore Girls is named Babette.

It´s French, a short form of Barbara and Elisabeth. It means "foreigner". Name Day: 4th December.

That is the ugliest name I've ever seen. Please, don't name your poor child Babette or else they will be made fun of and people would always say what an ugly name. If that were my name I would go to court and ask if my name can be changed.

Babette is the name given to the flirty featherduster character in the stage production of Beauty and the Beast. Her name isn't mentioned in the Disney movie the play was based on.

This sounds like a ditzy name from the 1950s.

This is. An odd name. But you have to admit, it's not NEARLY as odd as a million other names. For soem reason it sounds like "bobbin" to me.

Wow. Jesus, who would name their kid this? It sounds like "baguette" to me.

Wow, what's brought on all this Babette hatred?! I actually think it's a really pretty and elegant name, but sweet at the same time. It reminds me of Louis de Pointe du Lac's love interest from "Interview With The Vampire" and also of a sweet, intelligent, turn-of-the-century French girl. Babette is a beautiful name!

I think it's a really sweet name!

The "B" in Alice B. Toklas stood for Babette. She was the life partner of writer Gertrude Stein.
