I’m not trying to offend anyone with this name, but I strongly prefer the spelling Bethany. There isn’t a need to alter perfectly normal names. Well, that’s just my opinion. :)
I prefer Bethany. I don’t like it when people mess around with perfectly fine names and alter the spelling to make it look weird! They even did it to my name ‘Amy’ and changed it to ‘Amie’.
Ulgh! No! I SO prefer Bethany! WHY do you mess up these names, people? Can't it just be Bethany or Bethania? That's so much prettier. I agree with Inxpect.
My name is Bethanie Marie, and I've always loved my name. I wasn't ever really called Beth so when people do refer to me as Beth it just sounds funny. One of the only things I could complain about is the entire time I went to school, students and staff members would always spell it Bethany (and that just drove me up a wall). Being called Stephanie doesn't bother me simply because my aunt's name is Stephanie, so it's always been kind of funny for me.
My name is Bethanie also. Like you above, I never liked my name until I got older. As time passed, I began to feel more comfortable with it and now couldn't imagine a better name. A name is not only what you are called, but becomes who you are and I like me!
My name is Bethanie. I think this spelling looks nicer than the Bethany spelling, but I may just be biased. I always get compliments on my name, and although I haven't ALWAYS been happy with it, I love it now.
