Hi baby girl arrived... Brain tirned to mush...

Do you prefer Beatrix, Hermione or Meredith?

Thank you so much for your thoughts. Middle names no problem as we have ones which sound nice with each option.

I love the name Meredith and always have :)

Derrymum123 · 17/08/2022 09:59

Meredith!

User354354 · 17/08/2022 09:58

Love Beatrix ! Trixy is a lovely nickname

simonthedog · 17/08/2022 09:52

I would go with Beatrice who I would always call Bea

Arnaquer · 17/08/2022 09:51

Congratulations btw!

Beatrix too much like Bellatrix, prefer Beatrice.
Meredith feels a bit American
Hermione is really pretty but quite popular

Meredith is my favourite of those three.

Prefer the spelling Beatrice shortened to Tris not Trixie (which is a horse name to me 😀).

I bet all the Hermiones get 'wingardium leviosAAA' said to them all the time.

Meredith. Without doubt

Monstertrucks · 17/08/2022 09:41

Not keen on any of them tbh. If I had to pick one it would be Meredith

MakkaPakkas · 17/08/2022 09:33

All fine names and when your daughter is one of them it will be her, not any other association for everyone that knows her.
Congratulations on your baby!!

Beatrix

ofwarren · 17/08/2022 09:28

All nice but prefer Meredith

mahjongmonkey · 17/08/2022 09:28

Meredith!

SweetSakura · 17/08/2022 09:22

Meredith is nice and I know someone called it with the nn Merry which I like.

Beatrice would be nice. Less keen on Beatrix.

Hermione is awful!

Mumofgirls2017 · 17/08/2022 09:20

Meredith!

LadyCatStark · 17/08/2022 09:15

I really like Hermione. I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s only linked to Harry Potter, it’s a name in its own right and I don’t know why it’s not more popular.

imsureineverdo · 17/08/2022 09:15

Another vote for Meredith!

MassiveSalad22 · 17/08/2022 09:15

Meredith 😍😍😍 vetoed by DH 🙄 love it. Congrats!

notangelinajolie · 17/08/2022 09:12

Hermione is beautiful.

Not keen on the other 2.

Squirrelsnut · 17/08/2022 09:12

Meredith. I know one nn Ditty.

KosherDill · 17/08/2022 09:11

Meredith

emmathedilemma · 17/08/2022 09:10

Beatrix (also prefer Beatrice) is lovely
meredith is ok
hermione is awful

SycamoreTall · 17/08/2022 08:27

Beatrix
