Beatrice or Beatrix?

[Allswellthatendswelll]

DH prefers Beatrix and I prefer Beatrice

Thoughts? Or any names similar if one of us can't compromise. Thanks!

Beatrix - it has more spark

Beatrice. the other one is Beer tricks.

It depends on the surname. I prefer Beatrix but it didn't work well with our surname

I like them both but I think I agree that Beatrix is more sparky and less royal
family!

Plus Beatrix Potter is a legend. And you can have Bea or Trixie for a nickname, whereas I think Beatrice is usually just Bea?

I love anything Beatrix Potter but when I read it I said beer tricks to myself (I think it was a joke when I was growing up - if I ever did if I'm still saying it). I think personally I would go Beatrice unless you are tributing to the amazing powerhouse Miss Potter?

Thats funny @Luddite26 - Im Irish so the beer tricks thing doesn’t work at all in my accent (because we pronounce the “r”’at the end of beer strongly, which isn’t there in Beatrix) - so this would never have crossed my mind!

Beatrix - we had it on the list for our 3rd.

Beatrix. Who wouldn't want a name with an x in.

I never understand the beer tricks thing, it's not like that's actually a phrase.

Depends how you want it pronounced. Beatrice can be pronounced Beatrix, Beatrys or Beatrycha. Beatrix has fewer variations and will just be Beeahtrix vs Bayahtrix

Beatrix

Beatrice is much much nicer

Beatrice for me, definitely. Not a fan of Trixie as a possible nick name - reminds me of a small fluffy dog name (sorry, maybe I am being too direct there, but it was my honest thought process when I read your post!)

Beer tricks potter - maybe someone putting a pint of beer on a billiards table and potting the black or someone from Stoke slipping a vodka in a pint.

Beatrice works better internationally.

I prefer Beatrice but both are nice

Beatrix 100%, agree with who wouldn't want a name with an x in

Personally think Beatrix is much nicer than Beatrice.

Another vote for Beatrice!

Definitely Beatrice.

Beatrix gives more edgy/alternative. Depends what vibe you are after!

My daughter goes to nursery with a Beatrice and pronounces her name as “Bitches” - quite amusing. Took me a while to work out what she was meaning - ”I saw Bitches today” 🤣

I would vote Beatrix.

Beatrice, I prefer it as it’s softer. It was on my shortlist but I went with a different -ice name!

Beatrix

Beatrix all day long.

Beatrix - I feel there's a lot more zip to it.

I prefer Beatrice

Beatrix - has a bit more about it
