My name is Beth..... Not Elizabeth. Not Bethany. Just plain ole Beth. My mom said that she didn't want me to fill out all those bubbles on the scantrons.
My middle name is Ann, which everyone wants to put an "e" at the end of... I donno why, I think it's easier to spell without it.
Everyone in my family calls me Beth Ann, with the exception of two cousins->cuz they couldn't say the "TH" sound when they were kids... So they call me Bef (no, not beef!) even though they're 21 and 16 years old now!
Pretty much all of my friends call me Beth. A couple of people think it's funny to call me Bethany (like Beth-Annie) and then I have those really close friends that call me Bef (because they know my cousins)

But I don't mind... It's actually kinda fun.
Oh but why do I
always get people calling me Becky? Not even CLOSE to my name!
