How do you pronounce Beatrice?

[AnythingNotEverything]

Bee-er-triss?

Beer-triss?

Bay-er-triss?

Any other possibles?

Bee-uh-triss.

I would pronounce it Bee-uh-triss too.

It might be my accent though eg my accent doesn't 'allow' me to put an 'r' in a word where it's not there. (I'm using the word 'allow' just because I can't think of a better one). And if I said Bay-triss it would sound very unnatural with my accent too.

Bee-uh-triad - I love it! And the nickname Bea!

I would pronounce it Beer-uh-triss too

Bee-uh-triss. It's on my list

Thanks! I do love Bea ...

Beer triss. That is how my grandmother pronounced her name.

Beyer-triss

You must be v. posh Brock.

(or foreign).

I'd pronounce it Beyah trees
I also don't put an r in a word if it isn't there, because it's incorrect and sounds shit

Well proper I am, sat here on me plinth.

They don't actually add an extra 'r' but as they don't pronounce the 'r' a the end of 'beer' that's why they use that word when explaining their pronunciation of Beatrice.

If that makes any sense!

'I'd pronounce it Beyah trees'

I've never in my life heard that pronunciation, where are you from?

Bee-a-triss

I'm guessing those saying "Beer Triss" have the type of accent that does not pronounce the "r" at the end of "beer" - ie in which "bee uh" and "beer" would sound the same!

Beer-triss

Oh x-posted with squoosh!

This thread is making me thirsty!

squoosh.

Mmmmh. Beer.

Bee Ah Triss or
Bee-Triss

I can imagine loads of mumsnetters sitting here, saying:

Bee-er-triss,
Beer-triss
Bay-er-triss
Beer-triss

Sorry yes - Bee-uh-triss.

I'm northern. There's no r in beer.

Bee-er-triss
Beer-triss
Beer-triss

I would say these three are all the same, differing only by regional accent.

Bee-uh-triss

I would do Bee-a-triss. My DH (Portuguese) would say Bay-a-treesh
