Beatrice - beautiful timeless elegant name....nickname Bee or Trixy...

I like both.

[Tigerschick]

I never really thought about this until now but I say them completely differently!

Beatrix becomes something like Beer-trix
Beatrice is Bee-a-triss.

Odd that I've always thought they sounded basically the same!

[Woollymummy]

Beatrix, esp if you like the books by Beatrix Potter. people will assume you do anyway!

[tissy]

Beatrix, it can be shortened to Trixie!

[Sesi]

Depends on if you want to encourage Trixie as a nickname. Personally I wouldn't want that, i'd prefer Bea or Bee as the nn so would go for Beatrice.

[nickeldime]

Beatrix. Beatrice sounds kind of dated has been long declining in popularity from the chart: baby name Beatrice

[OrmIrian]

Sounds like a good reason to choose it then nickel

[dinkymum]

[AbbeyA]

I don't like either, but I would go for Beatrix as in Beatrix Potter.

[NorthernLurker]

I have a Beatrice - known invariably as Bea. I obviously think it's a lovely name - but if you all start picking it I will be very vexed!
