WDYT of the name Beatrice?

[rjamz]

Nickname (sorry nn haters) Bea. I think I kind of love it

[charlielove]

Love it so much.

[rjamz]

I'm watching a history of royal births (or recent ones anyway) on BBC America and Beatrice was queen Victoria's youngest daughter and it wasn't even on my radar but I think it's at the top of my girl list now

[silverjm]

I liike it.

I also really like Beatrix, nn Trixie

[charlielove]

I think it would be perfect for you! And it goes really well with J's name.

Love. I doubt that is surprising.

[TrudyCampbell]

Really like it! I love it on paper more than outloud but it's really pretty.

I think I accidentally sort of dated this girl Beatrice in 9th grade. She wrote me notes about how much she liked me and gave me sweet gifts. I thought we were just best friends but she thought we were in a relationship. Woops.

[UnicornDog]

I like it, but I like the Beatrix spelling better.

It was my grandmothers name. I always thought it was an old lady name, but then in the past couple of years I realized how beautiful it is.

Also a lady at my former church was Bea Flowers (her married name). She was German and the sweetest lady, ahhhh, just all sorts of great memories with that name.

And luckily since I have control over all baby names (since all children will have H's last name) it's totally upto me!

Beatrix just reminds me of Bellatrix Lestrange now.

LOVE. This was our #3 girls name. It was H's favorite, but I got veto power and wanted to use Francesca first. And, obviously, Bea Arthur.

I really like it. I'm not big on nicknames but I like Bea.

I like it! I have a baby name book called "Bring back Beatrice". It's all about getting past the stupid naming trends that have been happening lately.

Hmmm it's kinda growing on me the more I say it! Verdict in: I like it!

Bea is cute but I absolutely hate the name Beatrice. Sorry.

[imimahoney]

[Deleted]

That's how it was with me! They mentioned Queen V's daughter (yeah, Queen V and I are on a nickname basis) and I though, "huh, Beatrice. Beatrice.....Beatrice!"

Noooo we are supposed to be twins!!

I don't love it. I don't hate it either.

Keep saying it! You may find you love it!

Elizabeth is also still at the top of my list. I actually kind of like Beatrice Elizabeth

Speaking of name twins- since we'll both hopefully get KU this cycle- my top girl name right now is Elizabeth and I know you're thinking of it too I would nn Lizzie though, you're anti-nn right?

Ladybug you must use Elizabeth!! It's a name of yours I love... that means its a sign!

[Beener]

It reminds me of an old lady. NMS at all. But, if you anyone is considering Beatrice, they are probably thinking the name Emerson is not their style so we're even!

[spaghetticat]

I think I like it.
