Already got a Harriet Martha, and expecting DD2 in summer. Any thoughts on these names?

I would go Louisa too.

Much to my slight irritation Beatrice now seems to be every third little girl Hmm

I thought it was very unique and special for my DD2. She also sometimes gets nicknamed 'Beetlejuice' !!!

Louisa is beautiful and feminine and quite unusual these days too.

We wanted beatrice until DSS said it reminded him of an old ladies name Hmm I prefer that one tbh.

Also, Americans hear British pronunciation of Beatrice as 'Bitches' (they would pronounce it BEE-uh-tress).

I think Louisa is a lovely name. Beatrice is also nice but I don't like it as much.
Congratulations :)
