I prefer Bess to Bessie, and I can see Bess as a name on its own better than I can see Bessie, which seems more "nickname-y" to me. But I think I still prefer Bess as a nn. I knew a little girl (who's probably 10 now) named Bess, not a nn, and she could read when she was 2. Very cute, too, with blonde curls. :)
