About Bee
Bee is a buzzy (couldn't resist) girls' name, but boys with this as a nickname more usually spell it simply with the letter B. But there's no reason Bee can't work for boys too, with any formal name starting with B.
Pronounced BEE.
As of October 2026, Bee ranked #9206 in US births in 2000 SSA, peaked at #565 in 1881.
