I love them both. They were both on my shortlist, although we ended up using a different name.

DramaAlpaca · 21/07/2019 14:06

Genevieve for me.

LynetteScavo · 21/07/2019 14:10

I love both, but would go for Genevieve.

Beatrix

PineappleSeahorse · 21/07/2019 15:21

Genevieve is beautiful. Beatrix is not.

Atlasta · 21/07/2019 15:27

Genevieve definitely better than Beatrix.

Genevieve, very elegant.

MotherofaCat · 21/07/2019 15:36

Another vote for Genevieve. Love it

Beamur · 21/07/2019 15:37

Both lovely names.
Beatrice quite popular round my way, but few Beatrix.
Cool NN for both too.

Not a fan of either, too old sounding imo.

Genevieve, definitely.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/07/2019 17:51

Beatrix is becoming very popular all of a sudden, ime. Geneviève is lovely

KronksSpinachPuffs · 21/07/2019 18:44

I dont like beatrix, it's not to my taste at all.

I love Genevieve! Theres an old film called Genevieve (1950s film about a car race) and I used to watch it with my grandma a lot when I was little so I associate it with really happy memories)

CloserIAm2Fine · 21/07/2019 18:48

Beatrix (although I prefer Beatrice)

Sophronia · 21/07/2019 23:35

I like both but prefer Genevieve

TheRLodger · 21/07/2019 23:42

Genevieve is much nicer
I’m not keen on Beatrix at all but love Beatrice.

Astronica · 22/07/2019 00:03

I love both so this is a tough one. Does one sound better with the surname?
