I am still working on my list and I am thinking about suggesting one of these two names to my husband this weekend but first sort of need to figure out how I feel about them and which one I prefer. They fit my style but I also think that my husband might get on board because Bee is a somewhat modern sounding nickname and he likes Ruby.
Should I add them to my list, yes or no?
Would you give me your impressions, are there any negative associations? Or some pros and cons for either of these names.
What I thought about so far:
Beatrix - I like the nickname Bee, I think it sounds a bit more modern and carefree but I can't stand Trixie (do you think this is likely?). I know that I can just introduce her as Beatrix or Bee while she's little but at school how likely would it be that friends would go for Trixie or she'd pick it? My guess is not so likely because nicknames are usually derived from the first part of a name. I mean I guess I would get used to it I just don't particularly care for Trix or Trixie.
Beatrice - this seems a bit more elegant to me. Trixie will likely not happen. But it feels a bit older and serious.
Which one is less popular, likely to be dated, more beautiful?
Thanks for your help so far and thanks so much for your input.
