Middle name for Beatrice

68 replies

Flibbyjibby · 25/05/2022 19:13

We have chosen the first name ‘Beatrice’ if our baby is a girl, but we are struggling to come up with a middle name. We have a very long double-barrelled surname that starts with a T (think along the lines of Turner-Parkinson), so we don’t want anything too long.

We quite like classic names and flower/nature inspired names.

Please suggest away!!

Beatrice Ella.

My lovely Nan is called Beatrice Clare. Pleased it has been suggested here! I also like Ann and May

I don't think you need to have a short middle name. There's no need to dumb the name down that way.

Beatrice Eloise
Beatrice Elspeth
Beatrice Rosina
Beatrice Alexandra
Beatrice Kathryn
Beatrice Tamsin
Beatrice Isobel
Beatrice Annabel
Beatrice Arabella
Beatrice Madeleine
Beatrice Mirabel

If I was to have another girl I already decided her name would be Beatrice Isabella, but that might be a bit long

I don't normally comment on naming threads but I thought Beatrice Anne straight away.

I think this sounds lovely.
I rather like the left field option of Beatrice Vida too!

Beatrice Olivia, Beatrice Annabel or Beatrice Ivy

One syllable or three. Two won't work with a long surname.

Beatrice Ann
Beatrice Jane
Beatrice Joan
Beatrice Jean
Beatrice Fiona
Beatrice Eleanor
Beatrice Caroline
Beatrice Harriet

MyCatIsInCharge · 25/05/2022 20:26

I’d avoid Alice and Iris as they echo the ss sound in Beatrice. Rose is a lovely suggestion, as are Ada,Claire and Emma.

How about Emily, Ava, Flora or Helena?

itsgettingweird · 25/05/2022 20:23

Rose
Fern
Ivy
Willow
Fleur

(Flower names)

Joy
Eve
Raine
Ruth
Anne
Skye

(For other ideas!)

PinkSyCo · 25/05/2022 20:23

The first name that popped in my head was Jade. No idea why. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Basilbrushgotfat · 25/05/2022 20:23

Beatrice Louise is what immediately jumped into my mind but I also like Beatrice Alise which is a little shorter.

Beatice Ruth

Fern is nature one that is short.

minuette1 · 25/05/2022 20:12

FayCarew · 25/05/2022 20:00

Not Rose, Grace or May.

Mary is a good suggestion. Ann would be short and sweet as would Kate

Agree they are just unimaginative filler names!

How about a nature/jewel name (that isn't Rose!)

Beatrice Willow
Beatrice Hazel
Beatrice Ruby
Beatrice Pearl
Beatrice Iris
Beatrice Jasmine
