I don't mind it and yes, I think it can be used on it's own.

I only think of Beth as a nickname for Elizabeth or Bethany. I love it.

I only see Beth as a formal name. I know of no one who uses Beth as a nickname (I'm speaking of Elizabeths and Bethanys), and I know two Beths, and Beth is their formal name. It's quite complete and full on its own. I like it.Edit: Grammar.

I think so. I've known two Beth's. One was a Beth Ellen, which I still think is a sweet combo.Beth is one of those nicknames that's established enough to work on it's own in my opinion. Like Jack and Frank.

I really think it can. It's actually my middle name and plenty of people have asked me if it's shortened for anything. Why would I shorten my middle name?! But I know a few Beth's who shorten and a few who don't. It's fine either way.

It's often used as a name in its own right, and I wouldn't think a Beth definitely had a longer formal name, though I'd think it was quite possibly from Elizabeth or Bethany.Personally, I like it as a nickname for Bethany / Bethanie. (I don't like Elizabeth, I find it very boring. Actually I prefer Beth on its own to Elizabeth.)_____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that

Yes, I think it can definitely stand on its own. I think it's a very sweet name, it reminds me of Little Women.*Cody*Michelle*

Ug! I hate it, thanks to two Beth's I know and I really don't like neither of them. I know there middle names too... Beth Helene and Beth Evelyn. Really ugly if you ask me.

I like Beth, and LOVE Elizabeth. I don't think Beth can stand on it's own though.
