Straight from the Bebe website FAQ section...

How do you pronounce the name of your company? What does bebe mean?
It is pronounced "bee-bee." bebe was founded as a San Francisco boutique in 1976 by Manny Mashouf, the company's Chairman and Founder. The name bebe was selected because it represented the philosophy of the time ("to be or not to be") as well as other multilingual meanings including the Persian name for the queen in a deck of cards and the Turkish word for woman.

Well! Live and learn. I've been calling it "bay bay" too. Too many French classe in high school and college I guess.

Yep! I called the customer service line in college once, and it said "Thank you for calling Bee-bee."
