Beatrix

[sibbys]

Thoughts?

I love it. My niece is Beatrix, and it has special meaning for our family so it's even nicer.

I like it, but I do prefer Beatrice.

I met one Yesterday in my daughter's swim class and I'm just in love with it. My DP has to get on board though. I am kind of a Kill Bill fan so it's weird I haven't thought of it. I'm glad to see the positive response!!!

I love it!

I just hear Beer Tricks

I much prefer Beatrice.

Beatrix lends itself to the hideous diminutive Trixie, which is only suitable for one of those yappy terriers with a bow on its head.

Dominatrix. That s a no for me

Dd1's favourite doll is Beatrix due to Ms. Potter I think and she's adamant that her first daughter will be Beatrix too. She's little but Im going to encourage that train of thought in years to come! It's lovely.

I really like it.

Not keen

I much prefer it to Beatrice and love the nickname Bee

I love it, always been my favourite girls name.

Doubt I’ll be allowed to use it though, everyone seems to dislike it.

@BalloonSlayer

I love Beatrice but Beatrix reminds me of the old fashioned way of feminising a noun. In Jane Eyre she refers to herself as an interlocutrix, for instance (as opposed to interlocutor has she been male).

The only version of this we currently seem to use these days is Dominatrix. Hopefully this wouldn't be an issue.

Not quite true. I use testator / testatrix and executor / executrix daily at work.

Like Beatrice better.

The "trix" ending is off-putting. Hard-sounding. Beatrice is much nicer.

I like it. I like both Beatrice and Beatrix. I think the'x' gives it an edginess.
Bea/Bee/B/Trix/Trixy all good nn's.
I may be slightly biased..

Ah do you @StCharlotte ?

So it's not only Dominatrix used these days then? Or Bellatrix?

I really like it.

I like it. I like Bea and Trixie too.

We have one! She does regularly get compliments on her name so people seem to like it. She's accidentally been called Bellatrix more than once by other children (due to Harry Potter).

I love it!

Prefer Beatrice. My bilingual niece is Beatrice or Bea when here, but the lovely Bay Ah Treece or Bay-ah when at home.

I like it and Trixie is a very cool nn.

I love it! A bit feistier than Beatrice too!

Nice!
