Vita, it's beautiful.

KangarooKenny · 11/02/2023 17:02

Beatrix is lovely and feminine. Nice to shorten it if you/she wants.
Not a fan of Vita.

MrsBunnyEars · 11/02/2023 17:06

Good names!

Saffron, Zara or Emerald give me similar vibes.

MajorCarolDanvers · 11/02/2023 17:12

Beatrix

miniaturepixieonacid · 11/02/2023 17:31

Vita. I think it's really pretty.

smileladiesplease · 11/02/2023 17:33

Vita! She might grow up up to be a Gardner too. :) Very pretty name

Emmamoo89 · 11/02/2023 17:36

I like both x

Tecksupport · 11/02/2023 17:36

Not overly keen on either to be honest, but I think Beatrix is the better one.

stopringingme · 11/02/2023 17:37

Beatrix

With Vita I wonder if you would be asked what it is short for.

amonsteronthehill · 11/02/2023 17:39

Vita sounds like a nickname for Evita

Beatrix is nicer, although not something I would use

devonianpricklypear · 11/02/2023 17:40

love beatrix! reminds me of the harry potter franchise and bellatrix lestrange. good old days

Sandysandwich · 11/02/2023 17:46

Beatrix

Twoinapod · 11/02/2023 18:04

Beatrix is beautiful as long as it’s is said correctly.

not as keen on Vita

mathanxiety · 11/02/2023 19:14

Love both.

Vita has the edge. It's more unusual.

SazCat · 11/02/2023 19:16

I prefer Beatrix

Purpletopaz42 · 11/02/2023 19:25

I really like Beatrix, I think it's a lovely name and Bea, Trix or Trixie are nice nicknames too.

Northlights22 · 11/02/2023 19:35

Beatrix is great
vita is awful, sorry. It is so ugly …like Rita but uglier

Mañanarama · 11/02/2023 19:38

Vitabix

TempsPerdu · 11/02/2023 19:43

Rare that I click on a name thread and like both options! I’d go for Vita - elegant, literary and underused. Was in the running for DD but we went for a similar sounding name in the end.

xprincessxjanetx · 11/02/2023 20:41

Vita

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/02/2023 21:40

Quite like Vita but probably as a nn for Victoria or Vittoria as it traditionally is

Vivia
Ramona
Roxana
Yolanda
Selene (sell-ee-nee)
Cleo
Zelda
Ffion
Merryn

all spring to mind

I don’t mind Beatrix but Beatrix/Beatrice is collectively v overused, and she’ll likely end up Bea which might not be the punchy name you are looking for??

LuLu3456 · 11/02/2023 22:39

Thank you, love some of the suggestions! I don't mind Bea.

Beatrix. Like both though.

dustydewdrop · 12/02/2023 00:46

Beatrix is lovely. I don’t like Vita, it’s the name
of a play station device and that’s what it reminds me of.

PatsyJStone · 12/02/2023 00:57
