Is it like Beer-trix or Bee-trix? Or something totally different?!

Bee a tricks.
I would say Beatrice and Beatrix differently. Be a tricks vs Be a triss.

My Great Aunt's name was Beatrice!

Except, she was always called Bicky or sometimes Bridget, I actually don't know how she pronounced her legal name...

Just had a little practice and I hear myself saying BEEuh-Triss.

Bee a trix. Thinking of the former Queen of the Netherlands.

Beer triss

DifficultBloodyWoman · 16/01/2024 21:05

Dutch - Bee-uh-tricks (Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands)
French - Bay-uh-tricks

I would assume that the English version is the same as the Dutch but don’t know for sure.

Beuh-triss

Beah tricks.

People writing beer tricks, do you say drawer and draw the same? I do but others pronounce the r. So to me beah, bee uh and beer all sound the same.

I'm from London and say draw and drawer the same. I'd say Beer-trix.
