Girls names, 2 on short list

[Kikitheparot]

I love the name Phyllis, DH prefers Beatrice. We have narrowed it down to those 2 but just can’t make a final decision! Help!

I'm guessing those who think Bea is a nice nn didn't watch prisoner cell block H in the 80s. Phyllis is truly awful, especially for a child, sorry op

Beatrice. Phyllis is awful.

I like Phyllis I think it's due a come back

I know a young Phyllis - nickname Philly. I rather like it. It suits her.
I like Beatrice too though.

Both terrible sorry

Felicity feels similar, but much more interesting somehow. Beatrice always conjures up a giant pretzel. Can't think why...

Of the two I prefer Beatrice
How about Philippa ?

I really like Philippa and Felicity as suggested by pps.

People might say - see Phyllis? That was a joke when I was at school.

I dont like Phyllis.
Beatrice is ok.
Beatrix is cool.

I think Phyllis will make a comeback. You’d be ahead of the curve.

Beatrice is gorgeous. I don't really like Phyllis though Philippa is ok.
Phyllis reminds me of the Railway children and I much prefer the other sister's name, Roberta!

Neither if I’m being totally honest but at least Beatrice has some options for nick names - Bea, Trixi, Betty etc.

Not my cup of tea though sorry

I think I quite like Phyllis.

Beatrice is OK too, put the possibility of the diminutive Trixie (which is awful) would put me off.
