We are having our third baby, a girl and calling her Beatrice. Our Dd1 is called Imogen Rose so options for Beatrice's middle name are:

Beatrice Lily (got the flower connection for both girls)
Beatrice Annabelle
Beatrice Mary (my daughter likes mary but I'm not a big fan)
Beatrice Elizabeth
Beatrice May

Please let me know which of these you like best. Thank you!

Beatrice Lily.

It's the prettiest by far, goes beautifully with Imogen Rose, and the flower theme links the two.

Lily

Of your choices I like Beatrice Mary best.
I also love Beatrice Grace :)

A friend has a Beatrice and Imogen :)
Her Beatrice is Beatrice Matilda.

Beatrice Lily is my favourite, closely followed by Beatrice Annabelle if you didn't want to be too 'matchy'. Personally, I like the flower connection for the middle name, I think it's sweet.

Beautiful name choices for both your girls!

Beatrice Annabelle sounds too long. I love Beatrice Mary, so cute and traditional!

LittleErin · 13/08/2014 16:06

or May is also equally nice for middle name.

Beatrice Lily is beautiful especially with the flower connection.

This may not matter, but Bea (Beatrice) Lillie was a well-known entertainer.

Lily

Sophronia · 13/08/2014 21:12

Beatrice Mary, followed by Beatrice Lily.

ralinax294 · 13/08/2014 21:44

My favourite is Beatrice Elizabeth, but I think all the middle names on your list work well with Beatrice so whichever one you end up going for will be lovely :)

zazie7 · 13/08/2014 22:29

Beatrice Lily. Lily sounds fresh and light next to the more traditional Beatrice.

AliciaBotty · 16/08/2014 15:58

Mary or Lily

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/08/2014 16:04

Beatrice May is a lovely name.
If you want the flower connection, Beatrice Daisy or Beatrice Clover both sweet too.
