Beatrice

Tough one...

Would you mind a "trix" mn? Can't help but think maybe the 'trix' makes it sound quite hard imo.

Beatrice.

Beatrix is harsher, more like dominatrix!

jaffacakehips · 13/07/2012 21:05

Beatrice

DottieRose · 13/07/2012 21:41

Beatrix would be my pick! Lovely name

CecilyP · 13/07/2012 21:42

Beatrice for me.

Definitely Beatrice

Beatrice

I'm going to buck the trend and say Beatrix.

I prefer Beatrix.

But the only Beatrix I know goes by Trixie which I hate.

Had the same query a while back and went with Beatrice.
