Beth - I have a friend whose name is Beth. Not short for anything, just Beth. She hates being asked if she's actually Elizabeth or what, but I think it's lovely by itself.

Betha - Seems abbreviated.

Bethan - Same as above.

Bethania - Just seems odd to me.

Bethany - Very nice.

Bethari - I like the sound of it, but not the spelling.

Bethesda - Only the name of a city to me. I can't remember why I've heard the town in Maryland mentioned so much. I think it's used on "The X-Files" a lot," like maybe they're often at that hospital. Anyway, yeah. Doesn't work as a person's name to me.

Bethwyn - Interesting, but not my kinda name.
