Middle name for Beatrice........

[AlfieandBea]

We can't decide on a middle name for our daughter due in 4 weeks.

We are set on the first name Beatrice and have come up with a couple of middle names but can't decide:

Beatrice Florence
Beatrice Theodora
Beatrice Bella
Beatrice Ophelia

Opions and extra suggestings would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Helen

First of all, I think Beatrice is a lovely choice, classic & underused.

I like Beatrice Florence & Beatrice Ophelia best. I'm not keen on the alliteration of Beatrice Bella, and I'm not overly fond of Theodora, but that's just my opinion.

As for which is the right choice both are lovely but it might boil down to which is best with your surname.

Also I would think about any word the initials might spell if you use a middle name beginning with a vowel. For example if your surname happened to begin with a T you wouldn't want her initials spelling BOT!

Other suggestions: Beatrice Eliza(beth), Beatrice Georgina?

Florence or Ophelia for me too, lovely names.

Beatrice Alexandra

My nanna was Beatrice Ellen, which I love. DB's nicked the Ellen though and Beatrice doesn't go with our surname at all. Hence why I always end up sharing it on here so someone else might use it!

Beatrice Aurora

I prefer Beatrice Florence as, to my ears, an 'a' sound at the end of the second name doesn't quite fit.

The suggestions that immediately spring to my mind are Mary And Constance.

Thank you all, we love the name Beatrice (nn Bea)

We do like florence, but do you think Beatrice Florence is too similar sounding at the end?

Our surname is Smith.....so potentialy she would be 'BOS' if we were to use Ophelia....but how often do we write our initials down?

oooh I like Aurora.
'The Red Queen' I had exactly the opposit concern (please see my message above) therefore choose 'a' ending names to compensate for the similar sounds. Does Beatrice Florence not sound too 'cccc'y to you?

No, the spelling is similar but the pronunciation is different. I think it sounds lovely and sits really well with your surname.

Elizabeth
Matilda
Jessica
Rosalind
Violet
Hannah
Harriet
Isobel
Claire
Helena
Lydia
Catherine
Johanna
Annabel
Emily
Victoria

If you can't tell from my list, I wouldn't personally go for the double 'ce' ending! Just personal preference really.

Beatrice Imogen

I think Beatrice Florence or Ophelia (as have already been said) are both great choices.
Also
Beatrice Eleanor
Beatrice Dorothy
Beatrice Madeline
Beatrice Matilda
Beatrice Susannah. My personal fave
congrats btw

It is my middle name too and I love it . With your surname I like

Beatrice Eleanor
Beatrice Alicia
Beatrice Lois
Beatrice Lydia
Beatrice Rose

Bea Smith? She was top-dog at Wentworth wasn't she? (I'm so sorry, it is a lovely name though)

I know a baby Beatrice Grace (nn Bea) she's cute

Please don't do Beatrice Ophelia, she will be called stinky, sweaty etc. lovely names just not together

I have a Beatrice Ella if that helps? For info we thought we had chosen a really unusual name but there is one other Bea in her group at nursery (of 8!!) and I heard another parent talk to a Bea in the playground the other day.

My niece is Beatrice Jessica

Beatrice Anne

Ooh good choice - we're having a Beatrice or Charlotte if bump turns out to be a girl!

Beatrice Emily
Beatrice Elizabeth
Beatrice Grace
