Genevieve.

Beatrice is lovely pronounced the way the French do. But most British people say Beat - rix, which I think is ugly.

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

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)

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