Beth or Kate?

[BicycleMadeForTwo]

DH and I can't agree on which name to go for. Options are:

Beth Sofia
Or
Kate Elizabeth

Which do you prefer?

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

Aw congratulations! Both names are lovely!

I think Kate just pips Beth but you can't go wrong with either.

[ChantenayCarrot1]

Bethany Sofia

I dont like Kate Elizabeth - it's pretty but for some reason I imagine that the 2 names are commonly used together, dunno why as have no evidence of that being the case.

[Kraggle]

Kate Elizabeth is too Royal Family for me.

I love the name Beth or variants (Bethany, Bethan etc) but not keen on Sofia tbh.

[CPtart]

Kate Elizabeth or Elizabeth Kate.
Beth sounds a bit wet, and far far too many Sofia's/Sophia's.

[BicycleMadeForTwo]

Thanks for the replies.

I was worried Kate Elizabeth was a little too Royal family

[turdfairynomore]

Kate Elizabeth. I have an irrational dislike of the name Beth. No reason for it. I just find it a bit weak?

[Sophronia]

I would like Elizabeth Kate or Elizabeth Sofia, with Beth as a nickname.

[leccybill]

I have a Beth. Another name we considered was Faith.
I like one syllable names. No mucking about.
Faye
Belle
Rose
Joy
Clare

[mewkins]

Could you use Elizabeth and shorten to Beth? (I like to have options !)
Our dd is an Elizabeth and was going to be a Beth but she was far too crazy for such a sensible name so is very much a Lizzie.

[shakemysilliesout]

Both nice but both a bit nn for me. All very royal if you're a Sofia the first fan. I vote Beth though.

[BicycleMadeForTwo]

Funny, I thought Beth seemed like quite a solid name. It's always interesting to see other peoples opinions.

[BicycleMadeForTwo]

Don't like Elizabeth enough for a first name and kind of like names that don't lend themselves to nicknames.

We aren't set on Sofia but both just liked the sound of it.

I would love the name Bella but after bloody Twilight it has been ruined for me!!

[honeybeeplusone]

I love Kate Elisabeth but Beth Sofia is nice as well. Has your baby been born yet? It might help if she is here to see if she looks more like a Kate or a Beth :-)

[BigfootFilesHisToesInYourTea]

Kate Middleton is Kate Elizabeth. Technically Catherine Elizabeth. So yes, I would deem it quite Royal Family, given she's likely to be around concurrently with your DD.

What about Elspeth? Or Ella, if you like Bella but not the Twilight association?

[ThroughThickandThin]

Like them both.

Kate slightly ahead.

[Grannycrabapple]

Agree Kate slightly ahead but I do love Elizabeth Kate aka Betsy

[duftlys]

Beth

[ashesandfire]

Love Beth but I am biased as I have Bethany nn Beth
not so keen on Sofia and prefer Sophia spelling
Bethany Kate?
Kate Elisabeth is sweet too, she might get Katie which may be worth considering?

[OutragedFromLeeds]

They're both really nice, but I'd go for a longer name for both of them. I have a name that can't be shortened and I've always wanted a nickname! It's nice to have one name for friends and one for official purposes.

Elizabeth Sofia would be my choice. If you don't like Elizabeth you could have Bethany, Bethan or maybe Elspeth.

Kate could be Katherine or Caitlin. Caitlin Elizabeth is lovely.

[calzone]

Eliza Kate?



I love Eliza.

But Beth is pretty.

[Penguinotterfoxbadger]

Beth Sophia (or I would personally go for Beth Sophie). As others have said, Kate Elizabeth is all a bit royal.

Bethany Kate or Beth Katie would also be nice

[JC74]

I love both names as I have a Beth (full name Elizabeth Amelia) and a Katie Charlotte.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Beth Sofia, but I think Sofia Beth flows better, as does Elizabeth Kate as apose to Kate Elizabeth

[mathanxiety]

Katherine Sophie
Eliza Katherine

[jusdepamplemousse]

I would go Kate Sophia or Sophia Kate.
