Honestly, truthfully please. My daughter is called Elizabeth, but we call her Beth. I'm a little conerned that some people call her 'beff' and some say 'our beth' sounding like Arbeth.
Do you think we should shorten it to something else, such as Liza or Elsie?

Beth is gorgeous, one of my fave names even as a "stand alone" not shortened name

I have a Bethany too but she only lets her fav aunt shorten it to..... Betty because when she was a toddler she had hair like Betty Boop

beth is really quite pleasant and inoffensive

My DD is Beth.

It is just Beth, not short for anything.

I think it is a very sweet simple pretty name.

I like Beth.

It is my sister's nickname. DS (2.9) calls her Aunty Beff. One of our good friends is Betty (3) and she tells everyone, "My name is Betty but some people call me Elizabeff"

Beth is a beautiful name. I would stick with it!

Beth is lovely. DD has a friend called Beth - not as a diminutive, just Beth

Beth is lovely. wish it went with our surnames (double barrel)... don't worry too much about how other people say it, it's a pretty name.
