What do you all think? We like old fashioned 'proper' type names, & we both really like it! Opinions, please.

You both really like it. That's the deal breaker.
She could use Beatie or Trixie for nns. If she wishes.

I know one, and I keep accidentally calling her Bellatrix Blush

LOVE Beatrix. My baby's due imminently and we've chosen her (different) name, but Beatrix popped into my head two days ago and I can't stop thinking about it!! Daren't tell DH, or the company from which I ordered handmade wooden letters spelling the original name!!

Love it...but then I am biased, currently cuddling my six week old Beatrix!

So glad we chose it as her name, it really suits her and get so many compliments on it (not that we chose it for other people but you get my drift!)

Not a fan. Sorry. Although I prefer it to Beatrice.

Trixie sounds like a "lady of the night" name Blush

We don't like Beatrice, so she will definitely be Beatrix Smile

I love Beatrix, but after seeing a thread in Chat (or was it AIBU) the other day, I'm not so sure about it. The OP had a little Beatrix and was complaining that everyone pronounced it Beatrice!

Beatrice is lovely too, but it would just annoy me too much to have to go around correcting people all the time.

I like it more than Beatrice, but it still doesn't sound nice in my Australian accent (bee-trix, not bee-uh-trix).
