The only other suggestion I can think of is Tabitha.

Macbeth

---

...what, McNames are all the rage. And it's LITERARY.

---

Actually I don't have any ideas for you, everyone else came up with really good suggestions, I think you got just about every Beth option out there!

---

I do like Lilibeth quite a bit, it's so quirky.

I'd go with Bethan. I also like Bethany, Annabeth, Elisabeth, and Beth as a full name.

---

Elsbeth is another option. Elspeth might work, too.

How about
Bethlehem
Bethania
Jobeth
Bethari
Lilibeth
Marybeth
Lisbeth
Like any?

---

Mirabeth--

Elspeth? Lilibeth? Marybeth? Jobeth?

My favourite Beth

---

is Bethan. How about Beth-Anne or Betony? Lisebeth

Hmm. You have the main ones covered, I think. Elizabeth will always be my favorite, followed by Annabeth. I also like Bethan and Bethel, but not enough to use them. Bethany is one I've never liked.

The first little girl born to one branch of my family in the U.S. was named Bethwick Adair. I kind of like it, but I don't know if it's usable. There are also other name smushes, like Maribeth/Marybeth. My mother has friend named Ellenbeth (I'm not sure of the spelling--it could be Ellen Beth as a double name).

---

ETA: I just remembered I've heard of people using Beth as a nn for Tabitha.

If you don't like Bethel, then you probably don't like Bethlehem either. But I do. :P What about Bithiah? It's kind of Beth...

---

I dunno, I love Elizabeth. I wouldn't think it horrible to ever meet a just Beth, either. Although I do think it ought to have a full name. Or I like the idea abbasdaughter mentioned of making a double name, like Sarah Beth.

How about...

---

Bethari
Bethania
Lilibeth

Could go with just Beth or a double name w/ Beth as part of it... Beth is able to stand on its own.
Shauna Beth
Laura Beth
Kelsey Beth
Kailey Beth
Acacia Beth
... etc.

---

Bethan is perfectly fine though too... as is Elizabeth.

My sister is an Elizabeth, but always called Beth. (Our grandmother sometimes calls her Bethel in a joking/affectionate manner but I had no idea it was a real name!)

---

There are so many variations and related names. What about Elspeth, Elsabeth, Lisbeth or even Marybeth?

I like Elisabeth best, or how about a variation of Elisabeth like Liesbeth or Lizbeth?
