Beatrice

[elisabethanrose]

sorry last one now.
Our other girls name.How popular is this, should I be worried and is it trendy?

Seems to be getting more trendy.

Is it popular? we have it on our list for dc

It's on the rise but why does that matter?

I suspect that if Beatrice was really going to race up the popularity chart, it would have done so when the Duchess of York named her daughter that (what, 18 years ago?) and brought the name to public attention. It's a lovely name.

Lovely name.

I know one Beatrice. Don't think it's that popular.

How do you find out if names are on the rise if they are not in the top 100?

Anyway, Beatrice is nice. Nice for a little girl and shortened, but elegant for a grown up

Beautiful name and not popular. My daughter is the only one in her school. Although I do know of one born locally last month.

I like it, I think Bea or Trixie are really cute nns for it too.

We love it!

Dd3 says "I not bea I beetwice" quite often which is unbelievably cute

actually that shoudl say "beetwiss"

LadyT - Bounty do a baby names popularity thing where you can see if a name is more or less popular than last year. Beatrice is 338th most popular this year, compared to 349th last year.

My dd2 calls her friend who is a Beatrice: Beesha. They are both aged two.

I like it. I know two under two and given that I had never met any before that I do wonder if it is suddenly becoming more popular. But I am sure it will never be a top ten name - it is like Tabitha or Matilda, they are both getting more popular but they are still unusual sounding.

I love the name Beatrice! Really elegant and timeless.

beesha! that is sweet

DD2 is beatrice. She is generally called Bea or Trixie by me. Her sister used to call her "teatris" but now calls her something akin to "beast".

I love it but I'm biased..

It is on my list too

its a lovely name with a fantastic meaning, on our list for dc3 too

I think it's a gorgeous name and I agree that if ever it was going to become super popular then it would have been around the time Princess Beatrice was born.

I can't see it becoming another Chloe or Jessica.

I like the Beatrix spelling as well.

I like it, I know of one at primary school and one very little one.
