Middle name for Beatrice

68 replies

Flibbyjibby · 25/05/2022 19:13

We have chosen the first name ‘Beatrice’ if our baby is a girl, but we are struggling to come up with a middle name. We have a very long double-barrelled surname that starts with a T (think along the lines of Turner-Parkinson), so we don’t want anything too long.

We quite like classic names and flower/nature inspired names.

Please suggest away!!

Beatrice Louise is what immediately jumped into my mind but I also like Beatrice Alise which is a little shorter.

The first name that popped in my head was Jade. No idea why. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’d avoid Alice and Iris as they echo the ss sound in Beatrice. Rose is a lovely suggestion, as are Ada,Claire and Emma.

How about Emily, Ava, Flora or Helena?

One syllable or three. Two won't work with a long surname.

Beatrice Jane

Beatrice Jean
Beatrice Fiona

I think this sounds lovely.
I rather like the left field option of Beatrice Vida too!

thehillswerebright · 25/05/2022 22:04

If I was to have another girl I already decided her name would be Beatrice Isabella, but that might be a bit long

mathanxiety · 25/05/2022 22:07

I don't think you need to have a short middle name. There's no need to dumb the name down that way.

Beatrice Eloise
Beatrice Elspeth
Beatrice Rosina
Beatrice Alexandra
Beatrice Kathryn
Beatrice Tamsin
Beatrice Isobel
Beatrice Annabel
Beatrice Arabella
Beatrice Madeleine
Beatrice Mirabel
