Beatrix, Agatha or Juno

[LemonLovesLilac]

.......which would you pick?

Why Beatrix? Is that even a name or just one of those weird ways of spelling a name you know like Allyvia for Olivia. Apologies if it is.

I like Juno and Beatrice. I think Agatha is lovely but maybe for a French girl.

Beatrix Potter?

Beatrix as in Beatrix Potter......yes it is a real name ! I just think the x makes it a little cuter and spunkier on a little girl! Have you really never heard of Beatrix before?

Of course Beatrix Potter! Sorry.

I still prefer Beatrice, it's softer somehow.

squoosh - the other one is Gertrude.

I have been talking obsessing about names with be mom dad and dh, both the men LOVE Agatha and my mom doesn't like it at all which I find odd as I thought the men would HATE Agatha....instead they seem to greatly dislike Juno!! I'm just going around in circles

Eeek, Gertrude is an awful name. There's a very good reason it's never made a comeback. My least favourite name is Gobnait, it's Irish and pronounced Gub-nut. Vile.

Agatha, then Juno then Beatrix. I like them all but I love Agatha (Agie) and would've used if my DH hadn't vetoed it. Fwiw the adult Agie I know hates her name with a passion and was horrified that I was even considering it (she's in her early 40's so has had plenty of time to get used to it).

It would be interesting to know if anybody else knows of any little Agatha's and whether or not they like their name and what reactions they get to it!?!

I've never met an Agatha. If I met a chubby legged little Agatha it would change the dusty old lady image I currently have of it.

Agynes Deyn does ok. In fact her actual name is Karen or something and she chose Agynes (not sure why that spelling though) so it's got a bit of fashionista-ness on its side already.

I realise Agnes and Agatha are different names. But they're in the same vein I think.

Yeah I agree with you about Agnes and Agatha.....though I prefer Agatha for some reason! Didn't some celeb call her daughter Agnes Lark last year which s super fab....Paul Betthanys wife...can't remember her name!

I have an Agatha, it's a beautiful name.

Oooh CandiceMariePratt what reactions has your little Agatha received??

My Agatha is 14 now so not quite so little, it is like you said before that people either love the name or are polite and say " that's unusual" when they really mean they don't like it! I think its a beautiful name and have never regretted using it. X

I love Agatha.
Then Juno and then Beatrix.

To be honest, all 3 are good. Agatha is more quiet, Juno feels more out there and Beatrix is a classic with a twist.

candicemariepratt hope you don't think I'm too nosy (which I am) but as your dd is now a teenager does she like her name? I sometimes wonder how a teenager would feel about having a "granny chic name"...there is sooooo much to consider but at least I have narrowed it down to a few possibilities!

We had Juno on our list - goddess of womanhood - go for it!

She loves her name but mostly gets called Aggie by her friends.

Love Beatrix and Agatha second.

I love them all, beatrix 1st, agatha 2nd, juno 3rd.

It's really great to hear that you all seems to like the names! I'm going to do a little poll later with myself and dh to see can it help us any more towards making a decision!

Love love love Beatrix and Agatha. Both were in my list

Juno - nice. I immediately think of the film but I like it

In a similar vein, also love Agnes, Martha and Margaux (awaits the inevitable plethora of boak etc)

Juno great. Beatrix great. Not so keen on Agatha.

It might depend on your surname, but why not Juno Beatrix?
