Middle name for Beatrice/Beatrix

26 replies

If I have a girl, I am set on the name Bea with formal name as either Beatrice or Beatrix. Long surname, so looking for a short middle name that complements it.

Any ideas? All I've got so far is Beatrice Ivy.

I think it needs to be a short soft sounding name to compliment it. Rose would be nice

So many great suggestions, thank you all!

I like Rose, Ivy, Alice and Lily.

I LOVE Iris and was my other favourite name choice but Beatrice Iris is too much ‘is’ sounds for my liking.

I do prefer Beatrix spelling but I’m wary of Trixie as a nickname

Bea Ivy

I'd go with Beatrix as the longer name

Also I would go for Beatrice over Beatrix for the same reason as you - not keen on Trixie at all.
