I can't take Bliss seriously as a name. Beth is OK as a nn, but I prefer Bethan.

I like Bliss but I'm not likely to name a child that. I think Beth is boring. I like many other nicknames for Elizabeth more, like Betty, Eliza, Elly or even Elsie.

Way back in the '7os my mom worked as an EMT in Iowa. There was a place that taught Transcendental Meditation and apparently people there often became psychotic. They were referred to as 'The Bliss Bunnies." That is all I can think of anytime I heard Bliss. I find Beth boring. It's just there Nothing special, middle of the road. A background name.

The place is still around, it seems. https://wrldrels.org/2021/07/27/fairfield-iowa-transcendental-meditation-enclave/ It's got some interesting information, I'm going to call my dad and ask if he remembers any of it. It was so long ago he might not. I first heard this in the '90s, just 20 years later. Now it's 40+ years later.

It’s so bizarre! It sounds like something that should be on some investigative TV show or documentary.

There was a gorgeous girl about five years older than me in high school named Eliza Bliss Maki, and she went by Bliss, so I associate it with her.Beth is dull to me.

Beth is nice as both a nickname and full name. However, I don’t like the name Bliss at all, personally.

I agree with you. I like Beth as a nickname for Elizabeth and Bethany, thought I also like it in the middle name spot too. I think Bliss would be a unexpected and fun middle name.
