Names in Morse Code — B
Every name starting with B that we have a morse pattern for — 22 in total, each with its exact dots and dashes and audio you can play. Need something that isn’t here? Type it into the morse code translator and it will encode instantly.
What every name here has in common
Each entry on this page begins with B, and B in morse is -... — so all 22 patterns below open with the same 4 symbols. How B sounds and how to remember it has its own page.
The shortest encoding here is Beau at 10 symbols (-... . .- ..-); the longest is Brooklyn at 26. Symbol count is the number that decides sizing: it is how many beads a bracelet needs and how much width an engraving takes. None comes in under 10 symbols, so these suit a bracelet or necklace better than a ring.
Barbara
-... .- .-. -... .- .-. .-7 characters · 20 symbols (13 dots, 7 dashes)The name is BAR, twice, then A
Barbara is the most repetitive name in this set. Its seven letters break cleanly into BAR + BAR + A: B (-..., dah-di-di-dit), A (.-, di-dah) and R (.-., di-dah-dit) each appear, and the first three letters repeat exactly as the next three before a final A. For a maker that is a dream to lay out — build one BAR unit in beads, duplicate it, add a closing A, and the whole design is done with genuine structural symmetry. The eye picks up the repeat immediately, which makes the piece feel composed and intentional. Few names hand you a ready-made repeating block like this; Barbara practically diagrams its own bracelet.
Basim
-... .- ... .. --5 characters · 13 symbols (9 dots, 4 dashes)S and I pool five dots together
The signature of Basim sits just past its opening B (-...): a long bright run in the middle. S is di-di-dit and I is di-dit, so with no dash dividing them the pair strings five dots into a single row — nothing else in Basim runs longer, and few five-letter names offer a brighter stretch. On a beaded piece that is five small round beads nearly nose to tail, a delicate, glittering stretch that catches light. It is also the spot most worth protecting: keep a clear letter gap between S and I so a reader counts three dots, a pause, then two, rather than one undifferentiated string. Handled well, that five-dot pool is the prettiest feature Basim offers a maker.
Beatrice
-... . .- - .-. .. -.-. .8 characters · 18 symbols (12 dots, 6 dashes)Where B, E and A pour into one dot run
When you stamp “Beatrice” as -... . .- - .-. .. -.-. ., the opening is deceptively busy. B is a dash then three dots, E is a single dot, and A begins with a dot — so those three letters push five dots into one unbroken run before A’s dash finally interrupts them. That five-dot stretch is the longest the name has to offer, and because it opens the word, it hands the piece a soft, rolling entrance. Everything after it is choppier: single dots and lone dashes trade back and forth through T, R and I. Read the code aloud and the name begins smooth, then grows more clipped as it moves toward the closing C.
Beau
-... . .- ..-4 characters · 10 symbols (7 dots, 3 dashes)Short spelling, dense code
Beau looks tiny on paper but stamps as -... . .- ..- — ten marks across just four letters. B alone supplies four of them, leading with a dash ahead of three dots, while U signs off on a pair of dots lifting into a dash. That density means a four-letter name still fills a respectable length of chain or bar, more than a first glance suggests. Seven of the ten marks are dots, so the overall feel is light and quick with only three dashes anchoring it. For a short keepsake this is ideal: enough marks to look intentional and coded, few enough letters that the whole name fits comfortably on a small pendant without wrapping.
Beckett
-... . -.-. -.- . - -7 characters · 15 symbols (8 dots, 7 dashes)Almost even: eight dots against seven dashes
Most short names lean heavily toward dots, but Beckett sits nearly balanced — eight dots and seven dashes across fifteen marks. Stamped as -... . -.-. -.- . - -, it alternates light and heavy in tight bursts rather than pooling one kind together. That even split gives the finished piece an unusually rhythmic texture: no long stretch of sameness, just a steady back-and-forth of dot and dash through the middle letters C and K. If you like a coded keepsake that looks intricate and hand-worked rather than smooth, this balance is the reason. Read it aloud and Beckett taps out in short beats with no lulls, part of what makes the name feel percussive in code.
Bella
-... . .-.. .-.. .-5 characters · 15 symbols (11 dots, 4 dashes)What the twin L blocks do for the maker
The middle of the name is two identical four-symbol blocks — .-.. then .-.. — sitting directly against each other. Between them they account for eight of Bella's fifteen symbols, more than half the name, and they hand a jeweller something rare: a built-in proof. Because the two blocks are required to be identical, any error in one is instantly visible against the other. Lay them out, compare, and if the second does not match the first exactly, the design is wrong before a single bead is strung. Ask for the two blocks to be spaced identically as well; matched patterns with mismatched gaps read as a mistake even when every element is correct.
Benjamin
-... . -. .--- .- -- .. -.8 characters · 19 symbols (10 dots, 9 dashes)AMIN, a stack of hidden letters
The tail of “Benjamin” is a run of near-misses. Take A (.-) and M (--): closed up they read .---, which is J. Shift along and M with I (..) reads --.., which is Z. Shift again and I with the last N (-.) reads ..-., F. So A, M, I, N hides a J, a Z and an F between its beads, each surfacing only if a gap narrows. For the maker that makes the back half of this name the delicate part; the front, B, E, N, J, is comparatively safe. Space the tail generously and “Benjamin” reads true. Rush it and the receiver is left guessing among three phantom letters that were never in the name.
Bennett
-... . -. -. . - -7 characters · 12 symbols (7 dots, 5 dashes)B and E open on four dots
“Bennett” starts light. B is a dash trailed by three dots, and the E right after adds one more, so four dots run together at the front — the deepest run of dots the name holds. That gives the opening a soft, quick patter before the harder consonants arrive. Keyed out, it is a single dash trailed by a smooth run of four short taps. On a bracelet those four matched beads form a calm starting band, a nice lead-in to the busier middle where the two N letters and the twin T finish sharpen the rhythm. No run can cross the gap after E, so the four dots stay locked at the front of the piece.
Bjorn
-... .--- --- .-. -.5 characters · 16 symbols (7 dots, 9 dashes)A six-dash spine through J and O
Bjorn hides the heaviest single feature in this whole set. J stamps as .--- and O as ---, so J’s three closing dashes run straight into O’s three, forming an unbroken spine of six dashes across the middle of the name. Nothing else here comes close to that length. Encoded in full as -... .--- --- .-. -., the name is genuinely dash-led — nine dashes to seven dots — which is unusual, since most names skew toward dots. That long dark middle gives Bjorn real visual weight on a bar or cuff, a solid bold band bracketed by the lighter B in front and the R and N at the tail.
Blake
-... .-.. .- -.- .5 characters · 14 symbols (9 dots, 5 dashes)Four dots bridge B and L
BLAKE’s longest single-symbol stretch is a run of four dots, and it forms across the first seam of the word. B ends with three dots, and L opens with one more, so the two letters together lay down four straight dots before L’s dash cuts in. This is the sole point in BLAKE where beads of one color stack up, planted at the word’s very start as an early dotted anchor just after B’s leading dash. By ear it is a quick four-count tucked between two heavier marks. Worth noting for anyone stringing it: because the run crosses the B-L boundary, the gap there still has to be kept, or the four dots blur past their own count.
Brad
-... .-. .- -..4 characters · 12 symbols (8 dots, 4 dashes)B and D, near-mirrors that taper
Brad opens and closes on two close cousins. B is a dash then three dots -..., and D is a dash then two dots -.. — the same shape, one dot shorter. Because the heavier letter leads and the lighter one ends, the name tapers slightly as it goes, opening a fraction fuller than it finishes. Encoded as -... .-. .- -.., Brad packs twelve marks into four letters, so it looks substantial despite being short. That rhyme between first and last letter is a nice thing to feature in a design — the eye catches it even without knowing the code beneath.
Brendan
-... .-. . -. -.. .- -.7 characters · 17 symbols (11 dots, 6 dashes)B opens on a four-dot run
Brendan starts heavy then immediately lightens. B leads with a single dash and three dots, -..., and that third dot rolls straight into R’s opening dot, .-., giving four straight dots right after the first stroke. So the name opens with one bold mark followed by a quick, even dot-cluster — a strong but not busy beginning. Across all seven letters the balance sits at eleven dots to six dashes, keeping the word firmly on the light side. For a jeweller that means Brendan reads as a fine, mostly-dotty pattern with its clearest contrast right at the front, where the lone opening dash sets off the four-dot roll that follows it.
Brett
-... .-. . - -5 characters · 10 symbols (6 dots, 4 dashes)Light through the middle, hard at the close
Brett saves its weight for the end. After the opening B, the name thins to R and a lone E dot, then shuts on two T’s — each a single dash — landing its final two marks as a firm double beat. Stamped in full as -... .-. . - -, it moves from a busy start through a quiet centre to a heavy finish. That shape is useful in a design: the soft E in the middle is a natural place for a birthstone or spacer bead, and the double dash at the end reads as a strong, clean stop. Its six dots and four dashes keep the overall texture light despite that emphatic tail.
Brian
-... .-. .. .- -.5 characters · 13 symbols (9 dots, 4 dashes)Nine dots front-loaded into two runs
‘Brian’ leans on dots — nine of them to four dashes — and they collect into two runs of four across the front of the name. The first forms as B’s three closing dots run into R’s leading dot; the second, a little longer to build, runs from R’s closing dot through both of I’s dots and into the first dot of A. A single dash, the middle mark of R, separates the two. That makes the opening of the name a bright, dot-dense passage before the dashes arrive. On a keepsake it reads as an even shimmer up front, so keep the gaps open through B, R, I and A or the two runs blur into one continuous line of points.
Bridget
-... .-. .. -.. --. . -7 characters · 17 symbols (11 dots, 6 dashes)GET hides a Z and an A
The last three letters of BRIDGET carry a pair of hidden characters. G then E, joined as --. ., form Z; E then T, as . -, form A. So the tail GET could be misread as a Z or an A if the letter gaps blur. On a bracelet that is a reason to give the final three characters clean, even spacing — the two dashes of G and the lone dash of T are close enough that only the rest between them tells a reader G-E-T rather than Z or A. The name stays intact as long as those two small gaps remain visible.
Brigitte
-... .-. .. --. .. - - .8 characters · 17 symbols (11 dots, 6 dashes)Matching dot pools, each fed by an I
Brigitte has a pleasing symmetry buried in its dots. R finishes on a dot that the first I extends by two, building a run of three; later the pattern returns, with G’s closing dot joined by the second I’s pair to form a second run of three. So the two I’s each anchor a matching three-dot pool, one in the first half of the name and one in the second. Encoded as -... .-. .. --. .. - - ., the name balances eleven dots against six dashes, staying light overall while those twin clusters give it a repeating, almost rhyming texture. It is a lovely detail to build a design around — two soft passages set on either side of the central G.
Brittany
-... .-. .. - - .- -. -.--8 characters · 19 symbols (10 dots, 9 dashes)B and Y frame the name in four marks each
Brittany is anchored at each end by its two weightiest letters. B is four marks -... and Y is four marks -.--, so the name is bracketed front and back by equal weight, with lighter letters strung between. Encoded in full as -... .-. .. - - .- -. -.--, it runs unusually even — ten dots to nine dashes across nineteen marks — giving it a dense, balanced look rather than the dot-led lightness of many names. Those matching four-mark bookends are a gift to a designer: echo them deliberately, setting a matching accent just inside each end, and the piece reads as a closed, symmetrical unit from B to Y.
Brody
-... .-. --- -.. -.--5 characters · 17 symbols (8 dots, 9 dashes)A dot-run and a dash-run, both four long
Brody balances one long light stretch against one long heavy one. Early on, the three dots that close B slide into the dot that opens R, .-., for four dots in a row. Then in the middle, O’s three dashes, ---, meet the first dash of D, -.., for four dashes in a row. So the name carries a four-dot run and a four-dash run of exactly equal length — one bright, one bold, sitting a couple of letters apart. On a bar pendant that pairing gives a satisfying visual rhyme: the same length rendered once in short marks and once in long ones. It is an unusually tidy internal symmetry for a five-letter word, and a nice detail to point out.
Brooklyn
-... .-. --- --- -.- .-.. -.-- -.8 characters · 26 symbols (11 dots, 15 dashes)Where the twin O's and K stack seven dashes
The signature of “Brooklyn” in morse is a long dark bar through the middle. The two Os sit back to back — six dashes with no dot between them — and the K after them opens on a seventh, so dashes run seven strong before K’s dot finally breaks them. That is the heaviest single stretch of any name here, and it is a genuine count hazard: six or seven near-identical dashes blur into one smear unless the maker spaces them evenly. The reader has to trust the gaps to tell two Os from one overlong dash. Handle that block well and it becomes the piece’s bold centrepiece; handle it poorly and the core of the name turns to mush.
Bruce
-... .-. ..- -.-. .5 characters · 15 symbols (10 dots, 5 dashes)Dots that run exactly double the dashes
Bruce has a tidy arithmetic to it: ten dots and five dashes, an exact two-to-one split across fifteen marks. Encoded as -... .-. ..- -.-. ., the name reads light overall, with the dots carrying most of the load and the dashes stepping in as occasional accents. That ratio gives the finished piece a fine, mostly-delicate texture broken by just a handful of heavier marks. It is the kind of balance that photographs well on a slim bar, where the many dots create a soft field and the few dashes punctuate it. Read the code aloud and Bruce moves quickly and lightly, its weight gathered in two bracket letters rather than spread across the name.
Bryan
-... .-. -.-- .- -.5 characters · 15 symbols (8 dots, 7 dashes)Nearly even, with the dots loaded up front
“Bryan” sits almost perfectly balanced — eight dots against seven dashes across fifteen elements — but the two are not mixed evenly. The dots cluster at the beginning: B is -... and R leads with a dot of its own, so B’s opening stroke is chased by four straight dots — the brightest single run the name has. From there the code tilts darker, with dashes gathering through Y and toward the close. That front-loaded brightness gives “Bryan” a distinctive shape on a bracelet: a firm opening dash, a quick run of small beads, then a heavier, more emphatic finish. If you picture the name as a line, it starts light and ends strong, with the balance point sitting right around the central Y.
Bryce
-... .-. -.-- -.-. .5 characters · 16 symbols (9 dots, 7 dashes)The four-dot bridge from B to R
B is -... and R is .-., so the three trailing dots of B run straight into the single opening dot of R. That seam carries four dots with no dash between them — the longest unbroken run anywhere in Bryce. Lose the letter gap there and the ear grabs B’s dash together with those four dots and hears the digit six, -...., leaving -. to finish as N. The correction is spacing, not symbols: hold a clear pause after B so the dots stay split three-and-one. On a beaded piece that means giving the B to R junction a visibly wider gap than the tighter marks that follow, which keeps the reading honest.
These entries were previously separate pages. They now live together so each index is genuinely useful to skim — and so anything you actually want to encode goes through the morse code translator, which handles any text, not just this list.
