Name to go with Beatrice

Our DD is called Beatrice which we love. We are expecting our second DD and are stuck for names that seem to go well and that we like as much. So far we have Emma and Sophie which are more frequently used than Beatrice - does that matter?

Do you know any Beatrices and what are their sisters called?

Any suggestions appreciated too!

Off the top of my head, names that seem to go:

Matilda
Cecily
Eloise
Marianne
Madeleine
Alicia
Juliet
Catherine

But then I also think Emma and Sophie go well and it doesn't matter if they are more frequently used than Beatrice! Go with what you like Smile

2 little Beatrices live on my street - no Sophies or Emmas though. It doesn't matter IMO! Ignore the stats and go with what you like!

Beatrice and Laura
Beatrice and Elinor
Beatrice and Louisa

Clementine. We have ID twin boys & if they had been girls we would have called them Beatrice & Clementine.

My friend has a Beatrice and when she was expecting her second (who turned out to be a DS) she like Harriet which I thought went well and like Beatrice is pretty but not overly used.

I know one Beatrice and her sister is Elizabeth, Eliza for short. I had Beatrice on my list for DD2 but chose Florence.

I automatically thought Eliza too but not sure if that's because what's 'er face who played the trumpet on Eastenders has a dd called Beatrice Eliza. Always loved the names together. Florence also springs to mind.
