Marybeth Linzmeier Dorst, née Linzmeier, is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the Pan American Games and World University Games in the early 1980s.
Good name! While Mary is a beautiful name itself and Beth itself feels plain and boring, however, together they make a great name, Marybeth. I like this name!
Growing up I was called MaryBeth- it is both the mixture of my first name Mary and my middle name Elizabeth. I don't get called it often anymore since I never thought it suited me, but I think it works great for other people who have the same name!

My name is Marybeth, and I have learned to love my name more and more. It gets annoying when people assume that Mary is my first name and Beth is my middle name, and people ALWAYS spell my name with two words and a capital B. However, I really like the classic southern sound my name has and I love how unique it is!
My name is Mary Elizabeth. I was named after my 2 grandmothers so I needed to keep both names I guess. Everyone calls me Mary-Beth, I added the hyphen myself so maybe people wouldn't feel the need to shorten it to Mary. Lol.
This name is pretty enough, I suppose, although there are so many consonants! It's good short for Mary Elisabeth, I guess. I prefer my creation Marabeth, pronounced "mahr-ah-BETH"
I know a very nice girl named Maryelisabeth who goes by this name. The full name may sound pretentious to some, but if you knew her you'd know she's anything but pretentious. I like Marybeth both as a standalone name and as a nickname for Maryelisabeth.

I much prefer the spelling Meribeth, only because -to me- MaryBeth seems a little too much like Mary Elizabeth, but I like this name no matter how you spell it. It has a very sweet and classy edge to it. But I have met around 7 Meribeths (or MaryBeths if you'd prefer), so I think the name is getting slightly popular, but I still think I might use it if I ever have another child. Although, I'm not sure what kind of middle name I would give her.
My daughter is named "Maribeth", and I've had so many people tell me how pretty and unique it is spelled that way. We like to pronounce it with the short "i" sound, but most people still say the "ee" sound. So far, she loves her name.
