Bethany [either Aleena or Miriam] Watson

Surprisenewtcatcher · 21/01/2024 14:35

Bethany Aria is my favourite!

CharmedCult · 21/01/2024 14:37

Anything but Everleigh if that’s how you’re going to spell it.

Bethany Aria or Bethany Sameena are both beautiful.

Are you a Bethany Joy Lenz fan by any chance?! Her band is Everly

fishfingersandtoes · 21/01/2024 14:55

Bethany.

Everleigh sounds like a window fitting company, although obviously I
If you go with it it will just sound like your daughter

ApolloandDaphne · 21/01/2024 14:57

Bethany Miriam. Lovely name. I don't like Everleigh at all.

HoneyBadger525 · 21/01/2024 14:57

Aria Bethany or Bethany Aria :)

Vexxa · 21/01/2024 14:58

Bethany, by miles. Bethany Miriam is lovely.

Daffyyellow · 21/01/2024 15:00

I like Everly but not with -Leigh spelling.

Everly Miriam

Hatty65 · 21/01/2024 15:02

Everleigh is just not a name - except, as a pp said, for a company.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 21/01/2024 15:03

Bethany Miriam or Miriam Bethany. Not keen on Everleigh at all.

Floralnomad · 21/01/2024 15:07

Bethany is better than Everleigh . Everly is better than Everleigh .
Miriam Everly would be my choice .

MyGooseisTotallyLoose · 21/01/2024 15:08

I think most will mishear Everleigh as Beverly?

villamariavintrapp · 21/01/2024 15:08

Isn't Beverly the perfect solution here?!

Amy1998 · 21/01/2024 15:17

villamariavintrapp · 21/01/2024 15:08

Isn't Beverly the perfect solution here?!

Will she get picked on for that? Because all the Beverly’s I know are 60+

Bethany Aria is lovely.

NotSoLittleDove · 21/01/2024 15:22

Or Beth-Lee Aria (or Aria Beth-Lee) 🙂

Wallywobbles · 21/01/2024 15:24

NotSoLittleDove · 21/01/2024 15:22

Or Beth-Lee Aria (or Aria Beth-Lee) 🙂

You're heading for Beth-Leigh-Am I fear.

OldTinHat · 21/01/2024 15:26

Definitely Bethany.

I have a similar sounding name which is always misheard as Bethany. Don't go throwing Everleigh in the mix, she'll have a life of hell! Trust me!

PossumintheHouse · 21/01/2024 15:29

Everleigh sounds like the name of a new-build estate.
I’d definitely go with Bethany.

MaryActsLikeSheDontCare · 21/01/2024 15:31

Bethany is lovely.

How do you pronounce Everleigh? EverLee or EverLay? I prefer Bethany to either of those anyway

Heather37231 · 21/01/2024 15:32

Everleigh is a funny one. My own name ends in “Leigh” but even I did a double take reading it and had to look twice before realising it was pronounced “Everly”.

I like the sound of “Everly” but for some reason that spelling looks to me like the name of a house or something. What has attracted you to the “Leigh” spelling? Especially as your other preferred name ends in a “y”. (I’m guessing you would not go for Bethaneigh!)

fluffiphlox · 21/01/2024 15:32

Not Everleigh.

Clearinguptheclutter · 21/01/2024 15:33

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 21/01/2024 15:03

Bethany Miriam or Miriam Bethany. Not keen on Everleigh at all.

Same

Amy1998 · 21/01/2024 15:35

I think I’ll be ruling Everleigh out, my sister said what if the kids say “happy everleigh after” to take the piss and it’s bothering me now lol. Bethany it is!
