Beatrix or Claudia

[MiniAlphaBravo]

Currently rather fed up at 40+12 with my 2nd dd and wondering about names. Think we have it down to two after much deliberation: Beatrix or Claudia.

I like both but I'm worried Beatrix is becoming trendy, I seem to hear it a lot at the moment. Claudia doesn't have a great meaning but I don't think I mind that as it isn't something you think about everyday... which would you go for and why? Sister to Florence. Middle name might be Pearl or Elizabeth.

Thanks!

Claudia Elizabeth.

Beatrix Elizabeth

Beatrix Pearl

Claudia Elizabeth. Mixture if slightly unusual and classic. Too many Beatrix/Beatrice around.

Beatrix.

It's certainly on the rise, but not as popular as Beatrice. It's such a good, solid name I wouldn't really care about it being potentially trendy, personally. Your choice.

Claudia is fine also

Claudia

Claudia Pearl.

But I don't like Beatrice or Beatrix at all.

Definitely Beatrix so you can call her Bea...
Bea Elizabeth I love
not too keen on Pearl

I'm not a fan of Claudia and I think Beatrix is very cool. So easy choice for me!

Beatrix's popularity IS rising, but it was still only 207th last year, so hardly a common name!!

I think Claudia is terribly glamourous despite the meaning, however, I think Beatrix works better with Florence.

I like Claudia but never sure how to pronounce it-

Claw-dia

Or

Clow-dia

So I would go for Beatrix

Claudia Pearl

Love the name Claudia. It's brilliant. Beatrix is very common here! 3 in one year group.

Claudia

Beatrix Pearl.

Such a mixed response! Thanks for all your opinions, I'm not really sure what we will go for, any other opinions welcome I think I might be leaning towards Claudia but of course dh seems to be more towards Beatrix. It's not easy to agree on these things!

Claudia Pearl is lovely.

I'm not all that keen on Beatrix personally but it's nice enough.

Claudine.

Do you like Claudine? I think it flows better with elizabeth as a middle name.

Not a fan of Claudine sorry, though I see what you're saying about Elizabeth. Two vowels clash. any other ideas along the same lines as these two? We may need to compromise between us both. Baby is here now and nameless.

Much prefer Claudia to Claudine, but also like Claudette. I think Claudine for me is too associated with Enid Blyton.

But Beatrix is a a good name too.

Claudette Elisabeth.

Claudette is great too!
