I am pregnant with my first, we don't know sex yet but have a boy's name that we're agreed on. What do you think of Beatrix for a girl?

Oh, how lovely! I thought I was going to get people hating it. I'm glad DH and I are not going mad.

I prefer the x on the end, and was thinking Bea/Bee for a nickname. As long as it didn't end up being trixy!

I have no idea how popular Beatrix/Beatrice is, but I suppose it doesn't really matter if you love it.

Like it would have been a middle name if we had a girl

Needadvice5 · 29/06/2014 14:27

It's my favourite girls name!

I like it. I like Béya or bee for short. I prefer Beatrix to beatrice for some reason. The issss sound is a bit waspish.

DitzyDonkey · 29/06/2014 14:24

Love it especially the spunky x on the end! I also love the nn Bee.

Lovely. And more exciting and unusual than Beatrice, which has exploded in popularity round here, nice though it is.

Like it.
