1) Beth rhymes with death. 'Nuff said.
2) My real name is Elizabeth, and I can't tell you how many forms/exam papers I've filled in, and had to cross out my name. Great. Look like an idiot. Thanks mum and dad.
3) Eery single new teacher calling the register, I have to say "sorry it's Beth not Elizabeth". They never remember.
4) My middle name Anne is fine - Elizabeth Anne. But as I go by Beth, its Beth Anne, like Bethan. I have such name identity issues.
5) In the doctors when they call "Elizabeth Hurst" I honestly don't realise they mean me, so I look slow.


I suppose it could be worse. It could be a lot worse. Still I wish I was a real Beth. Or called something interesting, like Lola. I'd love to be a Lola.
