15. Betty Isn’t Short For Anything

Betty is her actual first name, not Elizabeth. At one point, her mother apparently claimed that while she was a big fan of the name Betty (obviously), she wasn’t a fan of Elizabeth or any of its associated nick names. Another fun Betty White name fact … when she married husband Allen Ludden, she officially took his surname and has kept it to this day.
