HelpRe: Ruth, Maeve, and Bethany
in reply to a message by Pickles
We seem to be channelling each other! For days now, I've been thinking of a sibset of Dinah, Maeve and Ruth.
So, that leaves Bethany to be commented on. I don't like it: biblical and geographical. I know someone who married a Bethany: her father was a church minister and that influenced their choice. She's never liked it much, finds it long and inconvenient, and mostly goes by Bee. I prefer Bethan, and if that's confusingly close to Bethany then Betsan is also Welsh and also very lovely. That said, I do prefer Betsy to Betty and Beth.
