HelpAnnabeth
Do you like Annabeth?
I used to think it was really dowdy but because of the Percy Jackson character and a young girl named Annabeth I recently met I like it better now.
Opinions? Do you prefer: Annabeth, Mary-Beth, Mary Beth or Marybeth, Beth, Bethany, Elizabeth or Bethan?
Oh and how do you pronounce Beth? I always said it like BETH but a youtuber has a little girl with this name (I think they are from Australia, not sure) and it sounded like BIFF (Biff). So yeah, took me a while to figure out she was Beth I was confused at a little girl named Biff (just reminds me of Back to the Future and that awful guy). Is it pronounced BIFF where you live? Do you know places where TH gets pronounced as F? I never encountered this before.

Annabeth is okay. I like it more than Annabel. It seems less strongly associated with the character than Hermione is with Harry Potter, so it would make a nice reference to a book without seeming too out there.
Elizabeth > Mary Beth > Annabeth > Beth > Bethany > Bethan > Mary-Beth > Marybeth
I've never heard Beth pronounced like Biff. Biff sounds like the bully in "Back to the Future."

Hi Perrine !!!
I dislike this kind of compounded names: overly traditional, boring, dated...
From the names you listed I prefer Annabeth exactly because I read nearly all Riordan's books and I like the character Annabeth Chase.
I would not use it in real life and behind this link I have no reasons to use it. It is just the best of this list. I think that Elizabeth is out of place here. It is not a compounded name. I love Elizabeth.
I know that Beth is pronounced with 'th' but I usually pronounce it with a simple 't' like the most of Italians. When foreign movies and TV series are dubbed in Italian is the same. Just a 't' despite everyone knows that it is actually 'th'. We are not ignorant. It is just that this sound is so funny, strange and far from the daily use of our language... (Obviously when we are talking to an English-speaking person we use the correct forms).
