Baby girl shortlist... the final three

[TheCag]

Our baby girl has arrived and we’ve finally narrowed our shortlist to three names:
Penelope
Beatrix
Catherine

Dh loves Penelope but our surname also starts with P and I feel it’s got potential for bullying/teasing issues in the future so I’m hesitant about the name.

Our other dc have slightly less popular/alternative names so Beatrix fits with them. We love Catherine too though and I suppose it’s our ‘safe’ option.

Help me choose!!

Beatrix every time for me.
Beatrix Catherine P..... sounds good to me?

PP initials would put me off, although Penelope is lovely.

I'd go for Catherine I think.

Penelope is a beautiful name.

I love alliterative names - all the superheroes have them! so I’d go with Penelope.

As long as your surnames not potter I’d go with Beatrix, it’s beautiful

I love Beatrix. Congratulations

Penelope is really popular at the moment. If that's a factor

Beatrix is lovely!

Catherine, definitely.

Catherine; beautiful, timeless and elegant.

Depends on the surname.
Would you shorten the name?
Just to pick a random P surname I'll use Potter.
Penelope Potter, Penny Potter
Catherine Potter, Cathy Potter, Kate Potter
Beatrix Potter, Beatie Potter, Trixie Potter

I didn't think hard enough.

Penelope!

I like penny which is a nn for Penelope

Catherine is gorgeous. Beatrix is just about okay. Not a fan at all of Penelope.
Congratulations

Lol @mikeuniformike thankfully it’s not Potter! More along the lines of Peterson.

@halfbloodprincess dh wants an alliterative name for that very reason!

Penelope is lovely!
I started to like this name after watching the purge series oddly..

I also really like Beatrix..

Catherine is much nicer than the others.

I picked Potter without remembering that Beatrix was on your list. If it was Potter then Harriet would be the obvious one.
I don't get the love for Penelope. It's ok. I think I know at least 4 adult ones. Do you like any other P names - Pippa, Perdita, Pandora, Polly, Posy, Pandia, Prue, Pamela...
Beatrix makes me thing Beer Tricks.

Penelope is my favourite. I like alliterative names unless it’s completely comical sounding. I also love Beatrix but I know a few young ones called that so it seems quite popular along with Beatrice but not overly so.

Catherine is a bit too classical and blah for my taste.

Beatrix or Catherine, not keen on Penelope

I like Penelope best and really like alliterative names. There has to be a reason why so many actors choose alliteration: Marilyn Monroe, Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter, Brigitte Bardot, Doris Day....

I absolutely love Penelope it’s a gorgeous name, would have used it for this baby but its my cats name. Different name but I know a Phoebe P surname and it flows, no teasing.

Definitely Beatrix, I know a baby beatrix and she's gorgeous! Catherine, nickname Cate (can't bear Katie, sorry), do not like Penelope at all, can't put my finger on why!

3 of my favourites.
I would probably go for Catherine but love them all.

Like them all but wouldn't have a P.P.
