Bébé (bay-bay)? Beeb? Ummm... beh-beh? I have no idea, and it always kind of bugs me when I walk by the store, and I was kind of hoping wikipedia could tell me. Does someone want to do me a favour and add an accepted pronunciation (try to have some good reason for thinking yours is right.)
The quoting is excessive and basically amounts to advertising. maxcap 01:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Why isn't the title to this article simply Bebe? In malls the store is called bebe, not bebe stores, so why is there a store in the title? -- Vincentanton 18:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be some constant confusion over the capitalization of the store's name. The store's name is not legally ever capitalized, it is deliberately in every official document and scholarly reference to the store uncapitalized. The reasons for this is stated in the 'Name and Inception' section. I realize that this may seem unusual for most wikipedia editors here but it is incorrect and erroneous on the encyclopedia's part to capitalize the brand name in any instance.

Also for further example please see the company's 'About Us' section located on it's website at http://www.bebe.com/custserv/custservsection.jsp?pageName=About

Perhaps exception should be made with this article given that it explains in the 'Name' section that the name is never capitalized but the way it's currently written is capitalized in the same sentence explaining that it's not. This is an obvious contradiction and will only confuse future readers. I could agree with keeping it capitalized in the title but I'm not so sure about the entire article.

Image:Gn logo bebe a.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It would be appropriate to discuss Neda Mashouf's role in creating the Bebe look and in the success of the company.

Bebe Stores – The official spelling is "bebe stores", but on Wikipedia, "Bebe Stores" must be used, since
MOS:TM states the following: "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official," as long as this is a style already in use, rather than inventing a new one". Indeed, "Bebe Stores" is already in use, as can be seen
here and
here.
