Sorry if this is a stupid question. I did search but didn"t find a thread. Considering Beatrice if this baby is a girl. Just wondering about the nickname Bea... I always thought it was said as "Bee" which I really like, but now I'm wondering if people pronounce it Bee-ah?

It's Bee for me. I remember Bea Smith from Prisoner Cell Block H!

Almost always 'bee', but I have taught a couple of 'bee-ahs'.

Id definitely say Bee for Bea. But I think I would pronounce Beatrice like Beer-Triss. It's one of those names I've never really been sure how to say it! I knew a Beatrice at uni and I would mumble her name 😂 is it Bee-Triss, Bee-ah-triss? Bee-trees? Bee-ah-trees? I am assuming it isn't Beet Rice 😜

No, you're right, it's just "bee"
