I love it, thats my first daughter's name and I love it so much I considered naming my second the same, just joking I did say I would though, instead my second's is Trinity Faith. Bethany means God's messenger. I think, I'm pretty sure. You can go to babysnames.com and it will say. NOBODY calls her Beth. I got this meaning out of one of those little names books at the walmart check out.

Also since names tell you alot about the personality, she is very sweet and caring for everyone. Very gentle w/ infants and pets. Loves to pray, dance, and sing. She is almost three and she is like the perfect kid for anyone. Our second totally different!

Well I looked it up and it said Beth meant an oath of god, and bethany meant place of figs: near jeruselem. It's a good name uncommon which is good seeing how there was a hurricane the same name i chose for my daughter and name boom of Emily i still choose it though because of family value and sheer love of the name oh by her middle name is grace which is pretty popular too. Choose something you love and stick with it. We also loved the names hannah, evelyn , adeline, liliana and cadence. Just to give you a few other choices
