Today I have been thinking a lot about Beth. It is so much less glamorous than most of my other favorite girls names, but to spin it positively it is much more down to earth and girl-next-door-ish. I might like to use it to honor my great aunt Betty (full name Beverly) What image do you get of Beth?
There is a slight issue, which would be the full name. Does Beth work as a full name? I don't like Elizabeth at all, mostly because of the ee-lizza part (plus bad associations with Liz for me and hubs both) is Elisabeth pronounced ee-lissa-beth? because I could get used to that maybe. And then there is Bethany which is ok but either way I would probably call her Beth and I don't like the almost rhyme with Stephanie. What do you think of Bethany?
