Shortened versions of Beatrix

[Pink241]

Love the name Beatrix but struggling for shortened versions. I would love Betsy but what do people think. Can we get away with it??

Bee
Trixie

Bea is a well known NN for Beatrix.

You could try for Betsy but she'l probably become Beatrix or Bea as she gets older.

Betsy to me is Elizabeth

Ours had the nIckname Beezer.
But that was in the 60s when the kids’ comic was going strong.
I like Bee.

Trixie, Beattie, Bea

I think you can get away with whatever you want!

There are two at dds nursery and both go by trixie. I know an adult (40ish) Beatrix who goes by Bea.

We have Bea but usually pronounce it beee-a If that makes sense.

I know a Bix, she's fab.

Bea or Trixie. Betsy is traditionally short for Elizabeth.
Having said that, many nicknames that evolve as the child grows have no relation to the actual name they were given.

I know one who uses Beatie? Betsy is definitely Elizabeth.

I know a Beattie Beatrix as well.

Not much of a shortened name, but she likes it.

Beatrix is easy to say, only 2 syllables.

Betsy isn't any shorter. I'd assume this was short for Elisabeth

Trixie
Bee
Bea
Trix
Rix
Rixie
Betty
Ixie
Tixie
Beattie
Beatrie

Our Beatrix is always Bea, rarely called Beatrix.

Betsey was always my least favourite nickname for Elizabeth. It just conjures up such a.... ugh picture. But it is definitely a nickname for Elizabeth, not Beatrix.

Betsy works well for a nickname for Beatrix. Of course traditionally it has been used for Elizabeth, but you know there are no rules for this and you can use whatever you want for your daughter's nickname. I enjoy the freshness of unexpected nicknames!

Isn’t Beatrix 3 syllables with the middle syllable being ever so slight?

I knew a Beatrice who was usually called Bee, I think it's lovely. Betsy is sweet too

I had an Aunty Beat.

Bea
Trix
Trixie

Betsy is a diminutive of Elizabeth.

Bea (Bee) or Trixie are the obvious choices. You could try to push Betsy but think you might get stuck when she goes to school.

I have a Betsy - her full name isn't Elizabeth but people assume it is.
I think because it's a nick name so not how she'll introduce herself, most people will call her Bea or Trixie once she's at school.

Beattie. It's cute.

If you like Betsy probably best to just go for that as a whole name

Bea or trixie is standard for Beatrix
