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.

Love Beatrix. I know a 2 year old Beatrix who goes by Bee and Buzz which is cute and a bit quirky.

Alice is a bit meh

I prefer Beatrice to Beatrix, but would choose Alice over either.

I would have had Beatrix if DS had been a DD

I love both names - had them both on my shortlist. Love Bea and Trixie as nn's. I'd also have Ally as nn for Alice. I put them in quite different name types though- Alice I think of as very flowery pretty feminine name where as Beatrix/Beatrice more quirky and alternative. Agree maybe just wait and meet her and see what feels right if your this close to her arrival.

Beatrix potter connection. beatrix potter books were the first books i loved to read which gave me a passion for literature. peter rabbit and little miss tiddywinkle are loved characters for toddlers and sharing her name with the creator of them when shes little will be awesome. beatrix lestrange literature connection when shes older maybe not so sweet
