What do you think of Beatrix? I’m torn... due day today so need to make some decisions. Alice is also a contender. Thank you.

Absolutely love Beatrix!

Bumblebeesmum · 04/02/2019 23:34

I think it’s lovely - not sure if I’d use it myself but it’s a lovely name. Sweet but quirky.

beanaseireann · 04/02/2019 23:43

I prefer Alice

Wingingthis · 04/02/2019 23:45

Cute with the non Bea!

Love Beatrix! Alice also lovely but Beatrix is a bit more feisty!

HappyGoLuckyGo · 05/02/2019 01:32

I like both Beatrix and Alice, but prefer the spelling Beatrice. Lovely choices!

Shadow1234 · 05/02/2019 03:21

Prefer Beatrice to Beatrix - sounds softer

Love Beatrix, but I would be tempted by Beatrice to avoid Trixie.

ChubsyMcChubFace · 05/02/2019 08:47

Love Beatrix! Not keen on Trixie as a nn, which is a risk if you dislike it too. Bea is lovely though.

Disfordarkchocolate · 05/02/2019 08:48

I like them both but Alice is my favourite.

Astronica · 05/02/2019 08:51

I love both Beatrix and Alice. Does one sound better with the surname?

mumtobabygilrl · 05/02/2019 09:21

Both beautiful. Wait until DD is born and see what you think suits her best. We had two names and suddenly with DD in my arms one name just became the perfect choice

MumUnderTheMoon · 05/02/2019 09:21

I love the name Beatrix, Alice is great as well. I loved the idea of Beatrix Joy when I was expecting.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/02/2019 09:31

Love Alice, but don't dislike Beatrix. Both Bea/Trixie are cute nick names.

Crystalblue13 · 05/02/2019 09:33

Love Beatrix!

Thanks all. Both sound fine with surname. Mumunder, Beatrix actually means bringer of Joy, which is just lovely. Long awaited 2nd child. :)

Prefer Alice. So many little Beas around at the moment.

MikeUniformMike · 05/02/2019 12:00

I prefer Alice but both are fine.

starkid · 05/02/2019 13:45

Beatrix is great :) Good luck for the next couple of days!

Butterfly84 · 05/02/2019 13:51

Beatrix is amazing, a coutry mile nicer than Alice.

Sophronia · 05/02/2019 14:32

I like Beatrix, I think it’s more interesting than Alice.

RiverTam · 05/02/2019 14:33

both nice names, I would say Alice less common round my way, if that matters to you.

BowBeau · 05/02/2019 14:34

I like it!
