Elizabeth Beatrice?

What do you think? Too much of a mouthful? Too many royal names?!

She would probably be called Eliza, but DH wants Elizabeth on the birth certificate

Sounds lovely! Very classic, lovely name.

Lovely Smile

Wonderful names OP, separately and together, in any order. Congratulations Smile

Splendid. One of mine is Elizabeth (on the birth certificate) - no-one has ever called her that and we did not intend to - she is Beth - but we thought having Elizabeth on birth cert would give her lots of choice for the future.

Elizabeth is lovely, Beatrice is OK
But together they are a bit of a mouthful.

I'd rethink the Beatrice unless it's a family name that has sentimental meaning.

Doesn't flow very well but both names are nice

Beatrice Elizabeth flows nicely

MinglingFlamingo · 02/03/2022 14:22

Love it

Asongfromthedarkesthour · 02/03/2022 14:23

I think this is a beautiful name. I have an Elizabeth by birth certificate but we hardly use it, she is Lizzie to everyone. I love it, such classic names.

StopForAMinute · 02/03/2022 14:38

Lovely. I love Elizabeth.

Averyproperteaparty · 02/03/2022 14:42

Ahhh absolutely gorgeous 😍

Lesperance · 02/03/2022 14:43

Boring and doesn't sound great together because of the two "b" sounds. Both only ok.

TeenPlusCat · 02/03/2022 14:44

Lovely. Can't go wrong with Elizabeth, great full length name and a variety of shortenings too.

Beamur · 02/03/2022 14:45

Two of my favourite names. I don't think they flow brilliantly but I don't think that actually matters as you virtually never say middle names out loud.
Elizabeth has many great diminutives and I think Eliza is one of the best.

Luredbyapomegranate · 02/03/2022 14:59

Lovely, classic.

DogsAndGin · 02/03/2022 19:05

Lovely name. I agree with DH

DramaAlpaca · 02/03/2022 19:06

Very nice. A good classic choice.

Lemonweightloss · 02/03/2022 19:09

Gorgeous

Blubells · 02/03/2022 19:23

Beatrice Elizabeth flows better imo

Holly60 · 02/03/2022 19:24

Lovely! Good taste op

toastofthetown · 02/03/2022 19:38

I don't love the flow of the -beth Bea part of the name. It's a bit choppy, though not horrendous sounding. Not too royal though; I don't think anyone could give a fig about Andrew's children and they'll only continue to fade into irrelevance.

scottishnames · 02/03/2022 20:08

Unless you intend to use both names together, all the time, I really don't think 'flow' matters at all. Middle names can be great to have, but they are very rarely used in everyday life.

Elizabeth Beatrice is very nice.

BlueGreyApple · 02/03/2022 20:27

I prefer Eliza Beatrice or Elizabeth Bea?

But Elizabeth Beatrice isn't horrible.

IstayedForTheFeminism · 02/03/2022 20:29

I love it.

StopStartStop · 02/03/2022 20:31

Beautiful.

I hate mn's obsession with nicknames bu the one that sprang to mind was Betti-Bea. I would never use it, though.

londonmummy1966 · 02/03/2022 20:34

I like both names but agree with PPs that Beatrice Elizabeth sounds better. Interestingly my grandmother was Beatrice (but not Elizabeth) and called Beth for some reason.
