I love Bettina, it's very cute. My friend is called Bettina but for her it's either Betty or Tina because she doesn't seem to think the same.-- Koolgal 3/27/2007
This is my name, and on the whole I like it, although people will try to call me Betty, which sounds like an old lady, or Tina, which I just don't like.-- Anonymous User 5/19/2007
In the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy is called "Bettina" by her sister Julia.-- Kate 1/16/2008
Like Sabrina, this name sounds ultra-feminine to me, like the name of a girl who grows up dressing up like a little princess and wears pink, frilly, cutesy outfits well into her twenties. It's not a bad name, it is pretty, like Sabrina is, but it sounds like the name of a stereotypically girly young woman or little girl. It's not exactly a bimbo-ish name, just really feminine.-- slight night shiver 5/16/2008
Bettina von Arnim was a German writer, novelist and composer and a prominent figure in the German Romantic era. She is best known for her close friendships with Goethe and Beethoven.-- kirluci 5/2/2009
In Denmark it is pronounced 'betTinae' or 'biTtinae'. Almost the same as the German but without the '-ar' ending.
Bettina can also be spelled as Betina or Betinna. All are pronounced the same way.
A close but rare namesake is Bettine, where the I is pronounced 'ee'.-- Betty87 12/11/2009
This name is also used in The Netherlands, where it is pronounced as bet-TEE-nah.-- Lucille 6/8/2010
This name makes me think of "The Muppet Christmas Carol" when Mrs. Cratchet (Miss Piggy) kept confusing her twin daughters Bettina and Belinda. XD-- Liesl 10/11/2010
This is a top 1000 name in The Netherlands. It was used most in the late '60s and early '70s, after which its popularity steadily decreased.-- Lucille 5/16/2012
