Beer is pronounced bee ah in my accent. Bee ah triss.

Nickname Bea to rhyme with pea.

bea-pea.

Lots of different pronunciations then?

So if nickname is "Bea" how is that pronounced?

Be-ah or Bea as in pea?

Same as you - Beer-triss. I'm from the North West.

Personally think it's a lovely name pronounced this way, but when pronounced 'Be-Triss' as I sometimes hear it...the name sounds really harsh and grating.
