Thoughts on Beatrix?

[Sansa717]

Positives, negatives, opinions?

Please don’t suggest Beatrice instead because we far prefer the X version. Thanks!

I like it. It's more interesting than Beatrice, which always sounds a bit staid to me.

Love it

She’ll still get Beatrice when she’s out tho!
My Beatrix does and it drives me potty.

Love it!

Love it, it’s a name I would seriously consider if I ever had a baby girl.

She may well get Trix or Trixie as a nickname, which I'm not keen on.

Not keen . It will always be spellt wrongly. Very tedious for whoever has the name.

Love it

One of my all time favourite girls names!

My sister is a Beatrix and she has always been called Bea.

I love names with an x in
I think it's cute for a baby not sure how well it ages

I like Beatrix and much prefer with the X, I like Trixie

I used to have an auntie Trix who was officially Beatrix.

Like it. I do much prefer ‘the other one’, but still nice. Not at all keen on Trixie though.

I prefer Beatrice

Love it and the potential shortening version.

I have a Beatrix, she gets called Bea usually. Sometimes she gets called Beatrice but not that often. It suits her, I think.

Absolutely love it

I like it. Much prefer to Beatrice. Dh vetoed it as he thought it was too associated with Beatrix Potter. I don't agree, but I'm not keen on Trixy as a nn - prefer Bea.

Nice choice. I'm afraid I'll always prefer classic Beatrice since it reminds me of Dante and Shakespeare, but Beatrix sounds a bit funkier which is cool - also gives you/her the choice of "Trixie" more easily, as well as "Bea" if she want a nn.

No real negatives that I can see, apart from possible confusion with Beatrice - but lots of names have that (Amelia/Emilia, Mia/Mila, Lyra/Lila etc)

Love it!

Thank you all! I like both Bea and Trixie/Trix so no worries there.

It's OK

I like it - I do immediately think "Potter" though.

Love it. A bad ass name imo.
