Beatrice or Hannah...

[LilRedWG]

...to go with Eleanor?

DH and I are divided.

TIA

Beatrice

Ooh I love both. I think when you say the two together Beatrice sounds better but I think Hannah is a more timeless name.

Both wonderful.

Definately Beatrice. I do not like Hannah at all, although I cannot put my finger on why.

Beatrice and Eleanor sound lovely together.

So sorry but I actually find it hard to think of a more awful name than Beatrice (maybe Myrtil?) yuck.

Hannah is beautiful (but very popular)

Beatrice is way too trendy at the moment where I live. Hannah is more classic.

Agree that Beatrice goes better with Eleanor. Don't like it when siblings' names end with the same sound - eg Lucy and Evie, and I think Elean-ah and Hann-ah sound too similar (unless you really pronounce it "Elea-noor"?)

My rl name is Hannah Beatrice!

My mum wanted Hannah, my dad wanted Beatrice.

I have always been glad it wasn't the other way round tbh.

Agree that Hannah is more timeless. I know of a fair few young Beatrices but did not know of any growing up.
That said, I'd choose Beatrice over Hannah as I like it more.

Beatrice

Argh! It's so difficult isn't it.

Not difficult - go with Beatrice !

Hannah - it's a beautiful name.

But then I'm biased

Now, if you could kindly tell me what to call DC2 (currently 5 months pregnant, DD is Eva, don't know if bump is girl or boy), I'd be most grateful !

Beatrice - lovely

Hannah - ok but quite popular. Maybe a little dull?

Beatrice definitely better

Hannah = dull

Beatrice

Beatrice.

DH is doing a victory dance as Beatrice seems to be coming out tops. LOL

Beatrice is old fashioned & old lady imo.

Hannah is just lovely.

Harriet?

I genuinely now have no faith in the opinons of mumsnet for baby names. Beatrice... seriously?????

Beatrice, I think it fits better with Eleanor.

Beatrice.

Sorry but I think Beatrice is awful. I would go with Hannah.
