It's not a bad name at all. It has been out of fashion for a while--maybe 50 years--but maybe that means it will make a comeback! People used to spell it Maribeth as well as Mary Beth.
Anyway, if you give her the name Mary Elizabeth, but call her Mary Beth, she still has a lot of possibilities.

It's not my favorite because it is rather old fashioned. Is there a special reason he likes that name? Would you always use both names when talking to her or referring to her? I think Beth is nice - maybe you could legally name her Mary Beth but leave off the Mary as her daily name.

I'm not a fan. Not because it's a little old-fashioned, but because I met a strange guy at a store who kept asking if I knew a Mary Beth Powers of the Hope House, and this guy really freaked me out.

It sounds angular.
Try something like Marybelle or Miranda instead.
Mary Beth is just so short and hard. If you really want to keep the name Mary, do something like Mary Isabelle, Mary Elise, Mary Kathryn, Mary Bethany.
Good luck finding a name you love!

Mary Beth is a nice name. It has a familiarity to it so she probably won't be teased. At the same time, she's unlikely to have serveral other children with the same name in her class. These days Mary Beth is much more unique that KayLeigh. lol.

I am not a big fan of it because of a man that stalked me asking about his girl friend named Mary Beth, so I don't like it, but it really is your own personal decision.
If you are looking for an older name, than its a good one.

As they said before, it does seem old fashioned, but maybe you can compromise and come up with a variation of one or both of those names....something a little different, instead of Mary and/or Beth.
I don't know your taste, but an example would be either Marinda, Marynda, Marrissa, Marianna, with either Beth or Bethany, or Elizabeth, or even Bettina... for the middle name.
My friend spells her name Merry instead of the traditional" Mary", it's pretty and cute I think... and it also fits her personality.

Not at all. Its a lovely, traditional name and will be nice and unusual among all the Skylars and Jaydens around today!!!
Who cares if its "old fashioned"- do you really give a damn about "fashion" when it comes to naming your child? People should use their imagination more!
Besides, everything comes round again the world of "fashion" and today's names will be "old fashioned" soon enough while the old ones will come back.

I like it. It has a nice ring to it. I'd spell it Merrybeth or Merribeth, though. Perhaps give her a trendy middle name so if she has the same opinion of many of the answers on this board when she's in school, she'll have something to fall back on. But I think she'll appreciate the "tried and true" name when she's older!
