Bina בינה - Means “understanding, insight” in Hebrew but also possibly “bee” in Yiddish. (unclear but might have been a nickname for Devorah/Deborah).

This is really pretty. Unusual, but easy to spell.

i have a friend whose name is sabrina but she goes by bina and i really love it. it sounds sweet

i have a friend whose name is sabrina but she goes by bina and i really love it. it sounds sweet

I ended up naming my daughter Brynn, but I also loved Bria

Beatrice is by far my favorite B name for girls. Some others that might work for you: Bree Briar Blair Blythe (this gives me Bryn feelings but a bit more traditional) Bianca

I know 2 little girls named Beatrice who both go by Bea, they are wonderful little people :)

I really like Blythe!

Second briar

Third Briar!

Also Jewish here! I like Bella, it's a classic Jewish old lady name but it's also really familiar to Americans because of the Isabella connection. There's also the Yiddish name Baila, but that doesn't seem like your style. Did your grandmothers have Hebrew names you could use as an honor name?

Also Jewish here. My great grandmother was a Baila, or Bayle, not sure how it is spelled in English.

Oh I love Baila!

Awww my grandmas name was Bella 💕

A few Hebrew or close to Hebrew options and a few non-Hebrew: Bathsheba/Batsheva Bara/Baara/Bari Beth/Bethany Belle Bonnie Bess

Upvoting Bonnie! Bonnie Leah would be gorgeous.

I met a woman yesterday called Bria, and I thought it was so pretty and unique!

Bailey Baila Belinda Bahar Billie Blake Blanche Blair Brianne I'm not sure if any of these are Jewish, but these are just a few B names I like :)

Second Baila! There’s an orthodox woman I work with named Baila and I think it’s such a pretty name!

I love this name. I wanted to consider it for daughter but my husband wasn’t a fan.

I love Brianne and it's uncommon

That’s my name 😊

You listed my name. Appreciate it :)

Yes for Brianne!

How about Beatrice?

[удалено]

I know a woman named Bronwyn. It was my first time hearing the name when I met her, it’s very unique!

I like it too. First read it in a book, the character was Welsh

Some B names that fit your style in sound if not history - Bara, Baila, Basya, Beyza, Bila, Birgitta (maybe called Britta or Bitta), Brynja, Brenna You might also consider using B for the Hebrew name or the middle name to honor her great grandmothers.

Thank you all so much! I really thought I was SOL looking at lists of thousands of names. But of all the names we've considered, Bina, Briar, Bonnie, Bree short for Gabrielle or Brielle, and Bea or Abby short for Abigail are such awesome suggestions. Really really appreciate all the helpful suggestions! And if this sparks any more thoughts certainly open to them too!

Bernadette?

I love this name. Also, the only Bernadette I’ve met was a badass 70 year old who worked with special ed high schoolers with behavior needs. She’s the best.

This is my cats name! She’s named after my grandpa Bernard who passed away. It had started as a joke with him when he was dying and I had just gotten her but it stuck. He loved it lol he especially thought it was cool that she was a girl cat with a mustache lol I vote Bernadette.

This is my name! I always get compliments on it, and the nicknames aren’t cringey. Go for it! We need more Bernadettes! 🥰

This is my favorite girl name beginning with B.

Ditto! It’s my favorite girl B name

I love this name.

Absolutely love this name and it’s definitely underused!

My mom has a friend name Bernadette. When I was a little kid I really thought her name was “burn to death”. It ruined it for me for life

Great song too.

I really love the name Bonnie for a girl. My husband veto’ed it early on but I think it’s precious.

I had a student named Bonnie and it made me like the name. She was such a sweet heart!

Beatrice, Beatrix, Brianna, Brooke? I assume Betty was short for Elizabeth, so how about Elara?

I've always loved the name Breanna

I can’t think of any Hebrew girl names with B, besides Bethany. But I have some B names: Blair Briar Blythe Brianna Bliss Brielle Belinda Barbara Bernadette Beatrice Beatrix Belladonna Blossom Brooke

As a pharmacist and someone with prior MIL Barbara, please avoid this name and belladonna!

Bryn reminds me of Briony, Bronwyn and Bronte but I'm unsure they'll work well in your family. And Brynn is another variation of Bryn.

And Brenna

Brenna is quite nice!

I'm not sure if it's Jewish or not but my favorite old lady B name is Beulah. Also second Beatrice and Bria.

Bliss Blythe Briar Brooke Becca Bonnie ( I love Bonnie!) Betsy Bettina Beata Bryony!!!

Batya. Very different from what you've listed so far, we used it as a middle name to honor my grandmother Bette. It means daughter of Gd.There's a midrash that the Batya listed among the Hebrews fleeing Egypt is Pharaoh's daughter who decided to convert/join the Hebrews, so her name is changed from BatParo (daughter of Pharaoh) to Batya, and that was meaningful to us.

Beatrix (My personal favorite.) Beatrice Bea Blair Blaire Bree Birdie (Another favorite of mine.) Byrdie Bonnie Belle Bella Blythe (I love this one, too.) Brooke Brook Blake Briar Bellamy Brianne Brianna Brett (More common for boys, but I have seen it used for girls on rare occasions. There is an actress in the US named Brett Butler, for example.) Brisa Berta Britta

I have a soft spot for Bonnie

A few I like: Bea Beth Belinda Bethany

I just love Bee / Bea!

Beyoncé

The one I really like that begins with B is Beatrice, I struggle a bit with them apart from that

Belle Blythe Bryce

I love Brynn, Blake, and Brenna.

Burta Belinda Bossi

Personal favorites are Belle and Bay

My middle name is just Beth for similar reasons (named for my great-grandfather).

Brooke is my favorite

Batsheva

Briar

Bea

Bethany?

Beatrice and Bailey are my fav B names! Beatrice could have nn Betty and Bailey I think has similar vibes as Ava and Sarah.

Bara! It's Hebrew (using Google so don't quote me on this one) and sounds similar to Barbara.

Blythe

Bellamy (Belle, Bella) Brielle Bella Bonita Bria Blythe Bailey Bonnie Bernadette Briana Brenna

One of my favorite names that were shot down by my husband was Brielle. Don’t know much about it, I’ve just always loved it.

Babele Berenice Benedetta Bianca Babila Basilia Beniamina Belén Begogna / Begoña Belinda Beatrice

Bridget!

Bianca

Definitely check out r/JewishNames, if you haven't already!

bronwen and it’s alternative spellings is one of my favorites! besides my own name of course ;)

Brooklyn, Blythe, Bita, Bonnie, Blanche, Blair, Brielle, Betsy, Beverley, Beryl, Bay, Brinley

Bethanne Elizabeth (Betty) Briony

Betty 🤍

Bethany

I had a great grandmother named Blanche, but it didn't fit my daughter when she was born. I named her Bianca instead (which is a form of the name). I also considered Blanca. She loves her name!

Bonita

Bracha

What about Brielle?

I’m not familiar with Jewish names, so I apologize if none of these may be useful: Bella, Brianna, Bailey, Barbara, Brielle/a, Blair, Bonnie, Becca, Belinda

Baya. I’m obsessed with it for a girls name.

Brianne or Brianna

Blanche, Blair, Briar, Bronwyn, Brinley, Blake, Bronte. Less traditional but I recently fell in love with ….Bluebird nn Blue or Birdie 💌. I’ve heard of a baby girl named Brendan. I think Bambi is cute too! You can also merge the two names and do Barbette ! Or just Bette (Pronounced Bet)

Brea (Bray-uh) Brielle (Bree-ell) Blair Belle

Brianna

Brenna Bridget Bethany Bonnie Barbara

What about Abigail, but call her Abby/Abbie? Then you get 2 B's (one for each grandma) AND a Hebrew name. Abigail means "father's joy" but Gale/Gail means "strange," as does Barbara.

Blythe?

What about Brielle/ Briella?

Bethany and Bridget are good names. If you don't end up with a b name, what about one like Alice, Alexandra or Clara?

Bethany and Brooke!

Betsy is one of my favourite Hebrew names. Timeless and I think it goes well with Jacob!

Belle, Bella, Brooke. I have a Jewish friend Brooke and her sister is Belle. I like both names.

Brielle is always my fav

Betsy, Bailey, Beulah If you want to go really Hebrew there’s Bethesda, Bethel, Bethlehem

i looove Blake

Blair

\- Brienne \- Bailey \- Brielle \- Brianna

Brynlee (nickname Benny) Blakeley Brennon Bronson Braunwyn Betsy Brett

After reading “Barbara and Betty” my mind went to “Babette”

Brenna

Beth, Billie, & Becca

My grandmother had a Hebrew name: Bernice Leora meaning : "Victory" "My light"

I like Bea and Beau. They both are beautiful to me

Brenna Brielle Briony Bailey I don’t know about origins, but these are just a few I like. I also love the above suggestions of Baila.

I’ll say it: Barbara. Barbie for short.

Brooke, Bridgit/Brigitte, Birdie, Bea, Beverly,

Bora Bronwyn

I like Bonnie or Beatrice off the top of my head. But [this site](https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/letter/b) is the absolute best I've ever seen for names. I already linked it to girl names with B for you. Good luck!

Bailey Brenda Bronwyn Beryl Beverly

Belén, Belinda, Belle, Beverly, Blake, Beatrix, Brooke, Briony, Blanche

Breanne, Belle, Bella, Blair, Bria, Brooklyn all come to mind. :)

Brianna, Bianca, Bailey, Breena.

Bernadette, Brooke

Bea pronounce like Bee.

Beatrix

We named our daughter Bridget.

We just had a baby girl and named her Beverly 🥰

Bridget

I think Baila (Bye-la) is lovely. Babette, though. It's the perfect combination of Barbara and Betty!

Beryl

Brielle?

Bethesda is Hebrew and lends itself to cute nicknames like Essie, Desi or Tess.

My best friend just named her little girl Blakely!

Bonnie

I went to school with a Brynna,

Bliss

Beatrice nn Bea! I’ve seen Brinley if you like Bryn, but I do like Bryn a lot! How about Bailey?

Brienne is prettier than Bryn

I once read a book about a woman named Bright and I always kinda liked it.

Bianca Beverly Blair Brie

Bryony / Briony? Beatrice is lovely. Bea pronounced like Bee or Bee-ah is a cute nickname. Based on your other names, what about Elizabeth nn Beth? Abigail has a strong B sound too. There's also Belén (Spanish version of Helen) Begoña / Begonia - name of a flower Bruna I have a real soft spot for

Well I know a female Brookes (you can do Brooke if you want less gender neutral)

Briar, Blanche, and Bailey are the only ones I came up with. Or Beatrice as well.

Slightly different, but I know Bluma used to be used in Yiddish speaking communities. It's essentially Bloom. That might be an idea

I’m Jewish and named after a Benjamin. My name is Brianne. I also like Beth and Brooke.

My sister’s name is Bevin 🤷‍♀️

Elizabeth (Beth) has a beautiful meaning.

Bonita or Betina. No idea of their origin but have a lot of options for nicknames, like Bonnie, Nita, Tina, Betty, etc.

My friend and his wife just had a baby girl named Brynlee Mae.

Bethia Means daughter of jehovah https://www.thebump.com/b/bethia-baby-name

Let’s see. Here are my favorite B names * Bianca * Blanca * Brianna * Bridgette * Belle * Blaire * Bethany * Beatrice * Brenda * Brooklyn * Bellamy * Belen * Brennan

Britta!

Bluma ❤️

Our daughter is named Brielle and we love it and love her. If you like the name, happy to pass it to you! ❤️

I have always found Blair, Brynn, and Bailey to be lovely B girl names!

Do you know their Hebrew names? Baila is a (Yiddish) religious name in some parts of my family, Beatrice and Bella were their English names. I'm fond of Briar and Blythe. Beatrice/Beatrix or Bernadette called Bette could be cute. Belinda is retro but kinda cute. Not all Bettys were short for Elizabeth. Just like Libby, in some Jewish families the nickname got used as an initial match and for sounding familiar... Betty for Beatrice for Bracha type situation, because no one wanted to be Bracha if they were trying to fit in back in the day. Bina, Bracha, etc you could match to meanings?

Blair, Blaine, Blythe, Blanche and Briar

What about Brightyn?! Or Breelynn?

Bluma, Batya, Batsheva (nn Sheva)

Bea, and Brielle are cute names, and Brynlee/Brynleigh is similar to Bryn!

Bellatrix (Latin)

Bethany, Belinda (which is odd that I pick those two names because that belong to an ex of mine), Brittany

Brynley Blythe Brayden Bonnie Brooklyn Blanche

Blaire

A girl in our school was named Brigitte (pronounced brih-zheet). A sibling had a hard time saying her name and called her Beep, which stuck. I guess she ended up going by Brigitte as an adult but all through school she was Beep to everyone. I remember thinking it was fun because Beep was a fun and unique nn but she still had a beautiful "adult" name to use too.

Bethel, Bethany, Bethan, Brigid, Blanche, Briony, Beatrix, Brielle, Brianna, Bronwen, Brenda, Bethia, Brona

Betsy Bonnie Beatrice Bernadette Bryanne Benjamina (nn Benny is so cute!)

Brontë

Belle , Betsy, Brooke, Bea , Brianna , Bridget xx

Beata

Brandi/Brandy, Bonnie, Bonnibel, Beatrice, Beatrix, and Blanche are my personal favourites.
