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

Actual perfection.

Absolutely lovely

A mouthful.
I think one of the names needs to be shorter, or maybe end with a vowel or something.

Lovely, this was actually our second choice for DD.

Personally Eliza Beatrice sounds much nicer to me.
Biased though as I have an Eliza and adore her name.
Elizabeth Beatrice is lovely but if you're going to call her Eliza (which is a beautiful name) I'd put Eliza on the bc.
Congrats 🌸

It's nice and since hardly anyone ever uses a person's first and middle name together it doesn't matter how much of a mouthful they might be.

Beatrice Elizabeth is much better!

Or Eliza Beatrice also lovely

Elizabeth Beatrice doesn't sound quite right

Ah, my name is Elizabeth and my daughter is Beatrice! I’ve always loved being an Elizabeth and they definitely feel like names that are in the same “family”.

Lovely names. Classic but underused.

Snowbell99 · 11/03/2022 23:06

Yes, it's too royal family. It was my first thought. I would guess that people will expect you to be a fan.

Elizabeth Beatrix instead maybe?

Elizabeth is a bit dull. Beatrice and Beatrix are okay. I dislike Eliza as a nickname. Eliza is a well established full name, if you want to call her Eliza just use that.

Eliza Beatrice is much less royal family.

I like it!

People who say Beatrice Elizabeth sounds better - I like that too, but I think Elizabeth as a middle name is/was a bit of a cliché (it is mine too, and loads of people of my age) and it's refreshing to see it as a first name. Also if you want to use Eliza it makes sense for Elizabeth to be the first name!
