Middle name for Beatrice

Would love some suggestions. Due in September and I cannot find a middle name that flows nicely with Beatrice. It’s such a strong name, everything else sounds really heavy and clunky with it. The only one I can come up with is Ava because it’s quite a light ‘airy’ sounding name if you get what I mean, but I don’t know I actually like it that much or if I’d just be settling.

I think she’s more likely to be a Bea or a Beatty than a Betty.

@Firebird83 that does sound really nice but Lilly does not sound good next to our surname 😅

@Knockmealdowns doesn’t bother me at all, it’s up to her what nicknames she does or doesn’t like

@Didisquat not Rose, sorry! Should’ve specified absolutely not Rose or May/Mae 😅

I agree with this. I was born in the 80’s and my middle name is Louise like every other girl born in the 80’s.
It’s utterly pointless addition to my name.

I’ve always thought Beatrice Lily sounds nice.

Ann. Simple, elegant.

@RosaSkye I have always liked Alba. But I am starting to like Ava a bit more now I’ve had more to compare it to!

Beatrice Ava is v nice

Lara, Clara, Zoe, Lucy, Ida

We nearly had a Beatrice (it was a boy!)
Names on our list were:
Beatrice Felicity
Beatrice Annabel
Beatrice Anna
Beatrice Thea
Beatrice Isabel
Beatrice Eleanor

I would try and avoid single syllable middle names. They always sound as though they are just fillers.

Beatrice rose? I know rose is a commonly used middle name but I think they sound pretty together

I agree. I love the name Rose.

The middle name of the Beatrice I know is Anais (spelled without the dieresis, which annoys me). I don't like it though.

LuckyMoonstone · 21/06/2023 22:40

@waltzingparrot oooh Beatrice Faye is a good shout
