What do you guys think of the names Beatrix and Wendy?

I've recently rediscovered Beatrix, and I like it a lot. I think it's old-fashioned and pretty without being soft or frilly.

I dislike Wendy.

I'm not too fond of either of them, though Beatrix is growing on me. I prefer Beatrice or Bellatrix, though.

I really like Wendy, but I have a cousin with that name, so I couldn't really use it. I've never been a huge fan of Beatrix ... to me it's one of those old-fashioned names that I still can't see on a kid.

Love Beatrix!!! after Kill Bill, I'll admit it :P

Wendy is too frilly and old fashioned for my taste.
It also feels like a nickname to me, although I know it isn't

I like Beatrix because it's Latin, but I have a hard time picturing it on a little girl.
Wendy is cute

I love Wendy, but Beatrix is odd for me.

Wendy can be short for Gwendolyn. It is a nickname!

I like Wendy. My fiance and i met at Wendys and we almost named our baby that in tribute but neither of us were in love with the name enough for that.

Beatrix is a little too tweeeee for me but I like Beatrice. Wendy reminds me of a manager at KFC.

While I prefer the Beatrice spelling, I have a soft spot for Beatrix, probably because I absolutely loved a beautiful edition of Tales of Peter Rabbit I've owned ever since I can remember.

There's something about Wendy I like, but I actually DON'T like the Peter Pan connection. I never cared for Peter Pan, in any of its incarnations. Plus, the fast food joint would probably lead to some serious teasing, especially if the child was a redhead.
