I have also heard "Bette" used as a nickname for Bernadette. When I think about it, that derivation actually seems to make more sense than deriving it from Elizabeth, at least for English speakers, who don't pronounce a hard "th."
But either way, I love it. And I also like it as a stand-alone name. Bette is great!

I agree with slight night shiver; it's not an ugly name, but it's not very exciting.

It's too plain and minimalist for my taste. It's not atrocious, but dreadfully boring it is.

I think this is a great nickname for Elizabeth. Since there are so many people named Elizabeth, I think it'd be a good way for someone named Elizabeth to make their name more unique from the others. "Liz," "Beth," and "Betty" are used all the time, so I think it'd be nice to hear something different from that.
