Same as you.

Springisallaround · 25/05/2019 21:38

Same- SW england. Is there another way? I mean unless you are from a different country and say the sounds differently, like in French?

Be-a-trice but my Italian friend pronounces her name Bey-a-trich-ay which sounds fabilous!

I've never heard anyone say anything other than beer-triss

floraloctopus · 25/05/2019 21:41

The 'ea' is just an e when I say it, I don't say the r either.

Beer triss - North West. How else would you pronounce it?

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 25/05/2019 21:42

Same as you, SE. However, an EX BFs mum, from East London, was called Beatrice and she pronounced it Bee-triss.

PavlovaFaith · 25/05/2019 21:42

My daughter is Beatrice and it's beer-triss. My Chilean neighbour calls her bay-ah-triz and my Portuguese colleague calls her Beer-trish.

We're North Yorkshire, Harrogate area.
