Beatrix Tallulah or Claudia Beatrix?

[alwaysmuddy]

As a sister for Ottilie. I'm not allowed Tallulah Beatrix......

I would be put of Claudia as I’m never sure how it’s pronounced. Is it Clawdia or Cloudia? I’ve heard it said both ways.

That's a shame OP, I love Tallulah Beatrix.
I think Claudia goes better with Ottilie.🌸

I don't think either first name goes with the middle name choice. I don't like Claudia as I think people are unsure which pronunciation to use. I also think Beatrice is prettier than Beatrix

Tallulah is an unexpected middle, where as Beatrix is a little more traditional. Beatrix Tallulah gives you the best of both worlds so I'd say that one.

Beatrix Tallulah

I think Claudia means Lame so that would put me off plus the claud sound isnt very nice.
Beatrix (nn Bea or Trixie) Tallulah is such a beautiful and lovely sounding name.

I think Claudia means Lame

Urban myth territory. (Repeated in every sodding baby name book though, annoyingly.) It's a misunderstanding of the meaning and transmission of very early Latin family names and all guesswork.

I like Claudia

How about Beatrix Lula? Liv Tyler called her daughter Lula Rose and I love it!

I know of a man who had a sex change and became Beatrix so it’s kind of put me off that name by association.

Kind of a weird reason to be put off a name! And in this day and age... It's not a reason I would share with other people. If this person was horrible in any way than yes.. I get it. But otherwise I would keep that to yourself.

Love both so with either, you’ve got a winner

Definitely Beatrix Tallulah (although I prefer Tallulah Beatrix!). I am always put off by the meaning of Claudia. I have written four baby name books and it isn't an urban myth. The mainstream, accepted meaning is 'lame' although some etymologists argue that it could be related to the word 'enclosure' but, if they were looking into it, then lame would come up first and as the main meaning if that makes sense.

In comparison, Beatrix means 'she who brings happiness' which is lovely. I also think the shortenings of 'Bea', 'Trix' or 'Trixie' are nicer than 'Clau' or 'Claud'.

Beatrix and Claudia are both traditional classic names, and I don't think you can go wrong with either, although I do prefer Beatrice to Beatrix. The Claudia/lame thing wouldn't put me off it, as it's not obviously in the name. However, I do rather like Tallulah as well. It's a different sort of name altogether. So I'd go for Beatrix Tallulah.

Lots of names have less than lovely meanings but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. Isn’t Amelia a type of birth defect?

I know a Claudia pn Cloudia and one Clawdia. Which would you go for? Apologies if I missed that!

@PanGalaticGargleBlaster, Lol!

Much prefer Beatrice to Beatrix - the latter is rather dowdy.

I don’t like Claudia and I like Tallulah but I think Beatrice Claudia works better.

Shame you cant have Tallulah. I know a Tallulah and she's lovely and fabulous.

I much prefer Beatrix. Beatrix has the same free-spirited, fun living give as Tallulah whilst Claudia seems stuffy and uptight in comparison

Tallulah is simply awful. Claudia and Beatrix are both fine.

Any of those names on their own - fine.

But together as a first and second name - pretentious wankery. Sorry.

If you want an unusual & different first name, then pair it with a plainer middle name. Or it's all getting a bit Jacob Rees-Mogg. Are you, in fact, his wife?

Oh tough one. I really like Beatrix and Claudia, but not Talulah. So I’d vote for Claudia Beatrix.

But together as a first and second name - pretentious wankery. Sorry.

Seriously?

If you want an unusual & different first name, then pair it with a plainer middle name

Claudia is very bogstandard name, Beatrice/Beatrix not fashionable but well known. The idea that you can’t put them together is bizarre, frankly.

Your post comes across as a pisstake.

But together as a first and second name - pretentious wankery. Sorry.

Yes, OP. You clearly have ideas above your station in life. Call her Bertha Joan and stop all this fancy shmancy nonsense.

Beatrix Tallulah. Trixie Lula would be a cute nn!
