    I was called Beth once and shuddered. Not my preferred nickname of Elizabeth AT ALL

    Oh jeez, I thought the top-right photo was of Neil Gaiman. Perhaps I am a tad too obsessed.

    @Lyesmith (Good joke. Everybody laugh. ): Perhaps.
    But I'd rather see the Gaiman instead of Howard Stern there as well, so ...
    *shrugs*

    Just watch it in the future. If you start seeing him where there are pictures of Gabriel Aubrey (Halle Berry's man), then perhaps there's a problem.

    @Everything MidnightBikeRide does is a balloon.: Also, they've got just about every US state suggested as a "unisex name."

    Wasn't Beth the name of Harriet's shy friend in Harriet the Spy? The one who left all the notes for people in The Long Secret or Summer or whatever?

    My cousin is a Beth, and she is the shyest wee thing, but with a mean wild streak. Think she's just getting over her teenage rebellion now, which perplexed us all. So I'm going with Beth's are extremely complicated characters.

    FYI- Bandana is a fairly popular name in Nepal (possibly India too). It is pronounced: Bun- duh- nah-- not like Ban-dan-uh

    One of my closest friends is a Beth. She is the coolest most non judgmental person in the world. You could tell her any problem and she would just put her head down and think of a way to help.

    The only Beth I knew was the most popular girl in my high-school. She was sweet but kinda dim.

    I love Beth Orton. I just had to go listen to She Cries Your Name before I could comment.

    I don't think I know any Beths in real life. The name is inextricably linked with Beth March for me. And not really in a bad way. I know she's too goody-goody for some people, but I always just see her as eternally frail and dreamy and childlike, and thinking about her is a surefire way to have a good cry.

    Elizabeth is high on my list of girls' names, though. And the more it seems like it would annoy my MIL, the closer it gets to being my top choice. I can be like that. My MIL is so devotedly Irish that she holds my desire to spend some tourist time in London against me, and Elizabeth is too English for her. It's been thirteen years, but our truce is still an uneasy one.

    I am a Beth turned Liz turned Birdie. To me, Beth is that super preppy girl who talks about you behind your back but isn't quite as shitty as some of the others. Birdie is my favorite diminutive of Elizabeth (well, okay, it's a diminutive of Betty which is a diminutive of Elizabeth).

    I know two Beths. One is a coworker my mother's age - she is super nice. Another was a girl who lived in my dorm - her nickname was Crazy Vegas.

    There's a character in an Andrew Vachss novel named Crystal Beth. A nice combination of hard and soft.

    I remember reading a book once where the girl went by Beth (I think) and she explained why Elizabeth was too formal and Lizzie too harsh...I can't remember it for the life of me, where are you fine lines!

    Are you thinking of Little Elizabeth from Anne of Windy Poplars in the Green Gables series?

    I'm conflicted about Beth. Mostly I think of Beth S., the uber-biatch of my high school years and beyond. But then there is Beth H., an awesome girl I met in college. And of course Beth from Little Women - though she was never my favorite character by a long shot.
