Would you like to be called Beth

[gatlinout]

?

My name is Bethany and I go Beth.
I like it. I wasnt one of many but still knew others. I dont think its the prettiest but yes I like it.

An omelette is the collective name for a group of Beths.

My sister is called Beth (Bethany)

Beth is a beautiful name. Some folk on here are pretty rude and undiplomatic

my middle name is Elisabeth and I always wishes it was my first name so I could be called Beth.

I really like it, as a pp said it makes me think of Beth from Little Women. I do think it has the potentil ao tbe a bit "wet" though so would go for Elizabeth on the birth certificate to give options. (My dd's middle name is Elizabeth so possibly a bit biased!)

Not often heard these days, but what about 'Bess'? And if you're in Scotland, what about Elspeth, which is another old short form of Elizabeth?

I really prefer Elizabeth to any of the short versions, however.

I love it but then I am a "Little Women" fan. Hence my daughter is a Jo! Beth is lovely, conjures up an image of a sweet, pretty girl.
