I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], mostly because my mom’s name is [name_f]Beth[/name_f] ([name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]). And when I was messing around with my mom’s name, and my godmothers name ([name_f]Amy[/name_f]) I came up with Bethamy!
Since its not a real name, would people constantly think my daughter’s name was spelled wrong or a typo? Or is it cute? I don’t know, that’s why I need you guys.
Thanks!
I do think people will think it is a typo. To be honest, I thought it was at first too.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f]/[name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] would be a bit better
Not a fan of [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], and Bethamy is worse. [name_f]Amy[/name_f]-[name_f]Beth[/name_f] isn’t horrific.
[name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] is cute. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] is cute. Bethamy doesn’t thrill me, but I do like Betony (which is a flower) so I guess it could work. I’ve never gotten into [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] itself because I don’t like the meaning.
Not a fan of Bethamy. Totally assumed that it was a typo when I saw the title of this thread. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] and [name_f]Amy[/name_f]-[name_f]Beth[/name_f] (or [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f]) are much better options.
I thought it was meant to be [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] as well. [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] could be a way to honour both
I like [name_f]Beth[/name_f] as a name, bethany not so much, bethamy however is better sounding somehow!
At first read it as [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]. Then [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]. Then finally figured out what is was. It’s confusing and would lead to problems with spelling and pronunciation.
Yep. I, too, thought it was a typo. [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] is adorable as is, and [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] is cute, too!
I first thought you meant [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], sorry. What about [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]? It has the Be- part from [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and -[name_f]Amy[/name_f] ending.
I thought it was a typo.
I think this may be better as two names, or a hyphenated name, like [name_f]Beth[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] or [name_f]Beth[/name_f]-[name_f]Amy[/name_f]. I definitely read it as [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] though. What about [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f]?
[name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] is [name_m]WAY[/name_m] better, and I especially like PPs suggestion of [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f].
Thank you all for the suggestions!
