A multicultural nickname style name, Boz has several different origins. It can derive from the Western African name, Bozoma, used in Ghana and borne by marketing executive, Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, and businessperson, Bozoma "Boz" Saint John. The name might mean "goddess", however other sources suggest it is a local, tribal name of the Nzema people.

Bethenny is the spelling introduced to the world by and closely associated with Real Housewife of New York Bethenny Frankel. While the name has a bit of charm, we recommend sticking with the original Bethany spelling.

Borne by actress Amzie Strickland, this variation of the Biblical Amzi has been given to a handful of girls each year since 2010. It had a brief popularity spike in 2014, likely owing to its appearance in the Lifetime reality TV show, Pretty Wicked Moms the previous year.
