Middle name for Beatrice?

39 replies

Dh and I are quite liking Beatrice for dd2. Not 100% set on it, but it's definitely the front runner right now. Trying to pair it with a middle name is hard though! I quite like the following but dh hasn't been keen so far:

Beatrice Cordelia
Beatrice June
Beatrice Juniper
Beatrice Luna
Beatrice Elizabeth
Beatrice Persephone

Any preferences or new suggestions?
Our last name starts with 'ch' and is two syllables, if that helps!

I was pretty much decided on Beatrice Elizabeth but found out that Princess Beatrice is actually Beatrice Elizabeth Mary, and I'm wavering a bit now! I'm quite fond of the royal family in the abstract, but I'm not sure about dd having the same name as one of them! Am I being silly? I didn't know until I googled so I guess few people would make the connection.

Beatrice Elizabeth. Gorgeous.

Beatrice Mary?

Beatrice Guinevere was the first thing that popped into my head!

FizzyGreenWater · 29/05/2018 17:58

then she can have Bibi as a nn option.

Baby due in October so no June connection other than liking the sound!

I'm leaning towards Beatrice Elizabeth at the mo, but will run them by dh this evening and see what we come up with. I think he actually suggested Beatrice Elizabeth yesterday so we may have a winner!

Isn't pearl the birthstone for June? If so that would work!

starkid · 27/05/2018 15:03

Beatrice Elizabeth is lovely and goes really well together. Congrats!
Beatrice Pearl is also a nice suggestion from a pp.

Not really a fan of any from your list. A one syllable middle name would definitely work best with Beatrice, though I don't like June and it seems a particularly unimaginative middle name to use just because she is to be born in June (if that is the case) and makes no sense to be used if not born in June. Basically just a no-go imo.

Some other suggestions:
Beatrice Jane
Beatrice Dawn (my favourite!)
Beatrice Grace
Beatrice Eve
Beatrice Joy
Beatrice Hope
Beatrice Anne
Beatrice Olivia (the only non-one syllable name that I think sounds lovely alongside Beatrice :) )

Frazzled2207 · 27/05/2018 13:22

I think a classic name to go with Beatrice.
Beatrice June is great if she's coming in June.

MaybeBabey · 27/05/2018 12:52

Beatrice Cornelia
Beatrice Victoria
Beatrice Lydia
Beatrice C/Katarina
Beatrice Elena
Beatrice Cecilia
Beatrice Dorothy

Beatrice Cordelia is really nice as well.

I wondered if Cordelia might be too much Shakespeare as well! Dd1's middle name is Hermione though so we do have form for it...

I like Beatrice Cordelia but maybe a tad Shakespeare heavy! I have a Beatrice Amelia.

Eugenie?

pootlepootle · 27/05/2018 10:46

Grace - on syllable works well with a multi-syllable first name

gwen25 · 27/05/2018 10:45

Beatrice Elizabeth!

AnnoyedByAlfieBear · 27/05/2018 10:44
