Can we use this name with our surname?

[plasticpig]

Does the name Beatrice sound ok with our surname which is Bell?I'm thinking particularly if her name gets shortened to Bea, which I'm sure it will. Your opinions - whatever they are are - are much appreciated. Thanks all.

Isn't Trixie also a nn?

I like alliteration so I think it sounds lovely! There are others on here who disagree with me though. I would go for it!

Well, I know a Bill Bell(any relation?), Mo Morris, and a Joe Jones. Once it's someones name it's less of an issue I think. You could call her something that doesn't commonly shorten to Bea (Phoebe, Belinda, Libby, Brona) but thats what she gets called when she is older. My friend gets know by her initial. I really don't think it's a issue

Doesn't work, sorry.

How about

Naomi Bell
Catherine Bell
Emily Bell
Georgina Bell
Louisa Bell

I don´t like it.

I like alliteration in names..but Bea Bell sounds like a cheese to me! Sorry.

I do really love the name Beatrice too.

Personally I don't like alliteration and Bea Bell just doesn't sound good. Realise though this is a personal choice and it's not my baby .

One voice, singing in the darkness, One voooiiiiiiiccccceeeee ................

It does have quite a ring to it, but I wouldn't go for that combo myself.

There is a Bea Bell on FB. She looks about 80 and lives in North Carolina!

Beatrice Bell sounds good and although I might not choose it, I think Bea Bell is ok.

Bea Bell's wobble but they don't fall down (sorry!)

Dont think it would work, sorry!

Beatrice Bell you can get away with

Bea Bell... Christ no! can you not hear yourself when you say it? Ridiculous!

Beattie Bell???

If you really love Bea (which I think is a very sweet name) & don't want to give it up could you consider using your maiden name as well as your married for the surname, so it was Bea (whatever)-Bell? Just a thought.

Is Bea pronounced Bee-a or just Bee?

I don't think I'm a fan of alliteration myself...

When you said Beatrice Bell I automatically thought her nickname would be BB, not Bea. (I knew a Cecilia who was always known as CC). BB Bell sounds cool to me! I say goferit.
Other possible nns; Bertie (she might be a tomboy!), Trish, Sissy??
My cousin's a Bell, and she really wanted to have a Madeleine, but had three boys so meh...

Sorry I don't like it, Bea Bell is ok-ish (although kids will probably call her Be A Bell) but I don't like Bea (pronounced Bee) Bell or BB Bell.

No, no likey, sorry

I like it

I know some1 that called his son Connor O`Connor and I went to school with a guy called Owen Keeowen Both should never have been paired together

Beatrice Bell is alright but Bea Bell or Trixie Bell a bit much. I do really like Beatrice as a name though.

Sorry but " Bells wobble but they don't fall down" make me snort out loud
