There is still sometime to change my mind but atm I am getting there with a boys name.

So I'm between Iris and Beatrix for a girl both with Elizabeth as a middle name.

Doesn't have to be Elizabeth.

I've heard Beatrix shortened to TrixIe which I can't decide if I like or not I used to think it was sweet not sure if it may sound a bit dare I say porn star. So I get how the trix part could be disliked but I mutiny Beatrix makes me think of Beatrix Potter.

Iris is a name I've always liked and dh hasn't but he has had a change of heart.

Trixie is a very cool nn for Beatrix. I'd choose that one.

I love the name Beatrix, but not with Elizabeth as a middle name. So, if it's got to be Elizabeth, then Iris is better.

(Beatrix is great, as Bee as an abb. is so so so lovely).

I prefer Iris.

I like Beatrice, but the "trix" in Beatrix is a bit dominatrixy.
