How would you pronounce this name? I guess I'm worried that people will pronounce it like "bee" or is it obvious?

@Amz6219

I'd say 'Bee' and assume short for Beatrice

How is it intended to be pronounced?

This, although the only B I know is actually B shirt fit a different name beginning with B.

I thought it was 'bee'? Short for Beatrice? I could be wrong though, it's quite unusual. Unless you are going for the French name, short for Beatrice (there's a missing accent somewhere). That's 'Bay-a' I believe.
