It's more likely to have Germanic roots.
They have some similar names but with 'i' at the end. It looks horrible.

It's an odd thing. Or maybe not. It doesn't have to be a B to start: Cally, Dotty, Fanny, Gilly, Harry, Jerry, Kitty, Lenny, Matty, Nelly, Patty, Robby, Sally, Terry, Vinny, Wally, Ziggy Q X and Y elude me |

It's just that there are soooo many that start with 'B'. 'P' maybe is common too. So it's yer labia-fricatives or whatever you call them |
