Beatrix or Beatrice

[Icklepickle101]

Which do you prefer?

Either.

Beatrix lends itself more to the Trixie nickname which I think is cute.

Beatrix is much cooler!

Genuinely like them both equally. I’d probably think the parents of Beatrix was a bit cooler, parents of Beatrice more traditional, but yeh they’re both great

Beatrix

I’ve always preferred Beatrice (NN Bea), I think it looks softer. Both are lovely though.

Beatrix

Beatrix, probably also because of the Trixie nickname however I hate when it’s pronounced ‘Beer tricks’ rather than ‘Bee- a- trix’ which I don’t think is as much as an issue with Beatrice as most people have the pronounciation down

I prefer Beatrice. I find Beatrix a bit harsh.

Have Beatrice and pronounced the Italian way - Bay-ah-tree-chay - then everyone will think you are dead posh!!!

Beatrix. Beatrice makes me think of Beat rice. Also Beatrix Potter is a great namesake.

I prefer Beatrix

I used to prefer Beatrice until I met a little Beatrice and her name just seems so serious for her. Beatrix feels more lively and fun

I was in the Beatrice camp but DP threw Beatrix in to the mix and I just can’t decide! It also feels quite out there and I’m not sure I’m brave enough!

Beatrix all the way! It’s an amazing name and has character and strength behind it. Beatrice is a bit cutesy and boring to me tbh (plus I know a few) Beatrix is gorgeous

I like them both a lot but feel like Beatrix seems cooler because it is less usual. If I imagine them both being the same amount of usual then I prefer Beatrice.

I prefer Beatrice. I find it easier to say.

Another vote for Beatrix!

I don't like the ending of Beatrix. I love Beatrice though and wish nine had been a little Bea!
