Beatrix or Edith or something else?

The other day I asked about the names Alice and Emily (middle name Freda). I still love both but neither quite seem perfect. I've been thinking about more unusual names. I like traditional but not twee or cutesy names.

How about either Beatrix (Bea) or Edith (Edie)? Middle name would still be Freda.

Or any other suggestions at all?

Also like Hettie, Hattie and Etta but not a fan of Henrietta and also not a fan of using nicknames as names.

Imogen is beautiful and popularity wise it's been falling for past 10 years and about to leave top 50 so a very good time to pick it

I love Edith too though

Astrid is ok but I'm not keen on the "Asss" sound at the start so that would stop me using it

The name Eliza seems to be popular around here at the moment. I've seen it on a few threads.

A few other suggestions:

Cordelia
Elinor
Emmeline
Gabriella
Felicity
Julia / Julietta
Sylvia
Victoria

Love Edith
Astrid Freda - quite Scandi but who cares - go for it
Etta is also a nn for Elizabeth if you like that

Honor, Frances, Lois?

Such a shame about Beatrix, such a beautiful, classic name.
I love Edith (it's on my list) and Edie is an adorable nickname.

I also like Astrid and Imogen but LOVE the suggestion of Aster from @Ellmau
