Beatrice Amelia seems to roll off the tongue more easily

yummymummie1 · 01/11/2010 14:41

Amelia or Olivia

christabell · 01/11/2010 14:48

Olivia or Elizabeth flow best.

weepootle · 01/11/2010 14:49

Amelia

christabell · 01/11/2010 15:07

Elizabeth or Olivia flow best. Do any of them have special meanings? I think it is nice for a middle name to mean something or be after someone in particular.

Beatrice Olivia sounds good, so does Beatrice Amelia
Beatrice Lilly is ok
Beatrice Elizabeth is ok
Beatrice Sophia runs together and doesn't work. said together it sort of goes Beatri-sophia.

My personal favourite of the options is Beatrice Amelia

Of your suggestions, Beatrice Olivia and Beatrice Amelia flow the best.

Other suggestions:

Beatrice Juliet
Beatrice Mary
Beatrice Rebecca

Beatrice Elizabeth

Beatrice Amelia is lovely. So is Beatrice Olivia.....but that makes her initials B O, so I would probably not chose that.

Didn't think of the BO thing - thanks! Mmm, leaning towards Beatrice Amelia. Quite liked the idea of a flower middle name (DD mn is rose) but maybe a bit twee and not many go with it.

Elizabeth definitely . Great name for a middle name as never shortened

Greenwing · 01/11/2010 22:24

Elizabeth definitely - classic and less 'in fashion' than the others.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 02/11/2010 07:22

elizabeth is never shortened?

liz
lizzie
liza
beth

lilly13 · 02/11/2010 08:24

Amelia or Olivia

NotanOtter · 02/11/2010 21:02

Hecate - not as a middle name its not !

HecateQueenOfWitches · 02/11/2010 21:40

Well, no, I suppose they don't Grin. Does anyone ever shorten any middle name? I suppose name shortening is a first name thing?

NotanOtter · 02/11/2010 22:17

Wink the things you learn.....!

Tidey · 02/11/2010 22:20

Wasn't there an actress called Beatrice Lillie? I like Beatrice Amelia best out of your choices.
