It's a sweet name, and I don't think it's overly religious sounding. I've known people named
Elizabeth who have gone by their full name, so I don't think that
Bethany would necessarily be shortened to
Beth. I haven't met many people named
Bethany, but the ones I have met or heard of have gone by
Bethany for the most part. One is called Bethie by her aunt sometimes, but usually, she is just called
Bethany.
