My first name, Elizabeth (Beth or Bethany) was guessed a couple of days ago. I thought you were trying for my middle name. It's a very common middle name for Elizabeth and can be used as a short version of names that are more popular these days.
I joined BYC when in TN, kept my email address and phone number when I moved to NC. Grew up in Atlanta, GA, born into a military family in Kansas. Parents were from PA and Maryland. I don't think location clues will help much.
It's a plain name thats only modern ties are that it can be short for...
My middle name is, to me obvious? There were four Beth's in my neighborhood growing up. Three of us were Elizabeth's and we all the shared the same middle name. It was strange.
