Love it!

Maggiesfarm · 01/07/2021 19:29

It's very nice indeed, timeless.

MadeOfStarStuff · 01/07/2021 19:24

I really love it! It’s beautiful and classic but still unusual

ILoveShula · 01/07/2021 13:10

Lovely and much nicer than Beatrix.

Squeakerfoot · 01/07/2021 12:20

Lovely!

RuthW · 01/07/2021 12:20

Lovely

ChocolateHelps · 30/06/2021 22:28

Love it. Not so keen on Beatrix as the nickname tends to be Trixie

SionnachRua · 30/06/2021 22:23

I absolutely hate it personally but it's a perfectly serviceable name.

DotDotDotDotDot · 30/06/2021 22:21

Not keen at all, sorry. It would be boring if we all liked the same names though. Beatrix seems a bit better.

MilduraS · 30/06/2021 21:45

I love it and it's not a name I've come across much at all (the princess being the exception).

Pigeonorcoot · 30/06/2021 21:40

Bea is lovely but I much prefer Beatrix.

Northernlurker · 30/06/2021 21:26

Mine is a teenager btw, in case you were worried by popularity

glasshalfemptyneverfull · 30/06/2021 21:25

Love it

Landslidelife · 30/06/2021 21:25

Great choice it would have been ds name.
I named one of mine after a grandparent it originally was going to be middle name but changed my mind when I saw him.

Northernlurker · 30/06/2021 21:25

I've got one too. It's a fab name. Lovely for a baby, great for a serious woman AND you can buy loads of cute Bee stuff that works for them Smile

NeedToKnow101 · 30/06/2021 21:24

I love it.

Almondcroissant25 · 30/06/2021 21:23

Love it, it’s my top name! Only issue is I think it’s starting to soar in popularity x

DubarryChuckle · 30/06/2021 21:22

Beatrice is beautiful! Do it! First name!

HeronLanyon · 30/06/2021 21:21

Lovely. Congrats op.

Zarene · 30/06/2021 21:21

Love it.

Marginally prefer Beatrix, though.

Synchrony · 30/06/2021 21:20

I hate it but what does it matter?! It's a perfectly good name, and there's no name that everyone likes.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 30/06/2021 21:19

I have a Bea(trice) so am clearly biased but i love the name

AnyaMoondial · 30/06/2021 21:17

I really love it.

TabithaTiger · 30/06/2021 21:11

Really lovely.

Granohlaa · 30/06/2021 21:09

I love it and it was in my list but my best friend nabbed it first.
