Yay or nay?

What impression does it give you?

Makes me think of Beatrix Potter.

Love it, who doesn't like a name with an x in and Bea is such a pretty shortening. A whole world of bee-based baby items is open to you!

I find it a bit pretentious

Topseyt123 · 14/06/2023 15:07

It's Bellatrix L'Estrange in Harry Potter, not Beatrix.

I do quite like it but much prefer Beatrice. I wouldn't want Trixie as a shortening, that's why.

It's the two Potters isn't it - Beatrix Potter and Beatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter.

I quite like the whole name but it's quite stately for a girl in my opinion, a bit like Maud or Wilhelmina.

I like it. I agree that Bea is a lovely nn but not keen on Trixie. For that reason I would probably go for Beatrice.

No, Nay, never!

I think it’s a bit Harry Potter. To me the proper name is Beatrice and this is a bit of a bastardisation of it. Bea is lovely though.

I like it

Love it but hate Trixie.
