[Opinions] Re: Bethany
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I think it's pretty, and I really like Beth as a possible nickname for it. The only thing that turns me off of it ever so slightly is that it seems a bit 80s/early 90s because it's similar to Brittany. I find it much more beautiful than Brittany, though. Bethany is softer and lacks the Brit- part of Brittany that strikes me as bratty sounding.
As for class, I've never associated Bethany with lower-class parents. It seems middle class to me. This is probably because the only Bethanys I've known have been middle class. To me, it has a similar feel to names chosen by everyday parents, such as Amy, Holly, Natalie, and Emily.
