Beatrice Amelia seems to roll off the tongue more easily

Elizabeth or Olivia flow best. Do any of them have special meanings? I think it is nice for a middle name to mean something or be after someone in particular.

Beatrice Olivia sounds good, so does Beatrice Amelia
Beatrice Lilly is ok
Beatrice Elizabeth is ok
Beatrice Sophia runs together and doesn't work. said together it sort of goes Beatri-sophia.

My personal favourite of the options is Beatrice Amelia

Beatrice Amelia is lovely. So is Beatrice Olivia.....but that makes her initials B O, so I would probably not chose that.

Didn't think of the BO thing - thanks! Mmm, leaning towards Beatrice Amelia. Quite liked the idea of a flower middle name (DD mn is rose) but maybe a bit twee and not many go with it.

Elizabeth definitely . Great name for a middle name as never shortened

Elizabeth definitely - classic and less 'in fashion' than the others.

Well, no, I suppose they don't Grin. Does anyone ever shorten any middle name? I suppose name shortening is a first name thing?

Wasn't there an actress called Beatrice Lillie? I like Beatrice Amelia best out of your choices.
