This is the Beth I could do!

If your name is Beth, do people make this pun about you? Do you enjoy it [Y/N]? If your name is not Beth, do people make any sort of pun about your name? Should Beth become a word and not just a name used for a pun? If so, what would Beth mean?

People make fun of the name Beth? My name's not Beth, obviously, but it seems like a waste of time to tease the people with the name.

Becky, I can understand. Stacey, if you're a Goofy Movie fan. But Beth? I don't get the fun in it. Makes one sound like she has a lisp. -.-

Becky and Stacey, I don't get.

I guess it sounded funnier in the comic. It made Beth sound like an adjective as well as someone's name.

Becky is a common "white" name that's made fun of, like Shaniqua is a common "black" name thar's made fun of. And the Stacey thing is from this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8bLox94zlFc), though most people wouldn't blink an eye at the name.

Oh, and I got the comic. XD At the risk of being a mean older sibling, that's how my baby sis talks at times.

That comic is hilarious. But no, I've never heard Beth being made fun of.

my name isn't beth, but Denise, and all of my life people (usually middle aged men) would say denise, wheres da-nephew.
which bugs me because its overdone and because my name isnt even said da-niece but deh-niece

LOL. I just read that comic to my best friend, whose name just happens to be Beth, and she tells me that she's never encountered those jokes in her life (and hopes that she never does).
