Middle name for Beatrice

Would love some suggestions. Due in September and I cannot find a middle name that flows nicely with Beatrice. It’s such a strong name, everything else sounds really heavy and clunky with it. The only one I can come up with is Ava because it’s quite a light ‘airy’ sounding name if you get what I mean, but I don’t know I actually like it that much or if I’d just be settling.

We nearly had a Beatrice (it was a boy!)
Names on our list were:
Beatrice Felicity
Beatrice Annabel
Beatrice Anna
Beatrice Thea
Beatrice Isabel
Beatrice Eleanor

I would try and avoid single syllable middle names. They always sound as though they are just fillers.

@RosaSkye I have always liked Alba. But I am starting to like Ava a bit more now I’ve had more to compare it to!

I’ve always thought Beatrice Lily sounds nice.

@Didisquat not Rose, sorry! Should’ve specified absolutely not Rose or May/Mae 😅

I agree with this. I was born in the 80’s and my middle name is Louise like every other girl born in the 80’s.
It’s utterly pointless addition to my name.

LuckyMoonstone · 24/06/2023 23:26

@Knockmealdowns doesn’t bother me at all, it’s up to her what nicknames she does or doesn’t like

@Firebird83 that does sound really nice but Lilly does not sound good next to our surname 😅

I think she’s more likely to be a Bea or a Beatty than a Betty.
