I love it. I like Beatrix better. I love Bea for a nn. I know a little girl, I actually think her first name is Beatrice, not Beatrix, but she goes by Trixie and I think it's just so wrong...

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it Bee-ah-triss.

If I find out on the 29th that we're having a girl, her name will be Beatrix, but I plan on exclusively calling her Trixie. My family does not approve, except for my mom. She loves it because of Trixie Belden.

i approve! :D haha

its absolutely adorable, i love it. congrats. what will it be if its a boy?

[taillow.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks!! It's been my favorite name forever, but my family says it's just a stripper name, haha.

If it's a boy, we will be naming him Marshall Joseph, nickname Mars.


(please don't let Marshall become the next big name now that I've put it out there, haha!!)

Ahh, I feel bad for your little one. Or hope that it doesn't stick for when she's a teenager, for your sake, lol. It is cute on wee ones, but I'd hate for it to stick. Bea is so cute, though... Ahhh, sigh. You're killing me! Be a good mom =]

(mostly being silly, but yah know)

I pronounce it Be-Uh-Tris.
I don't care for the name, though.

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

i really like beatrice. i don't know if i'd use it though.

I love Beatrice. I just have nothing but good associations. I currently like it best as a middle name for my favorite name, Catherine.

[florallove.livejournal.com]

I pronounce it like everyone else does.

I think it's pretty cute, but I don't really like B names for girls.

[biancasablancas.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, neither do I. Beth, Bertha, Barbara, they're all so ugly and old-fat-maid sounding.

My name is Bianca :P I think that's okay, though!

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

BEE-uh-tris, definitely.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

BEE-ah-triss

I actually don't like it at all.

[uncrossyurheart.livejournal.com]

same and same.

I love Beatrice! I pronounce it bee-uh-triss.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Beatrice that much. It's too old-fashioned for me. I pronounce it BEET-riss or BEE-uh-triss. I used to have a teacher who pronounced it like the words beat rice.

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't use the name but i don't think it's horrible. i would prefer the spelling beatrix and would pronounce it bey-a-triss in that case and be-a-treeehhhhs when it's spelled your way.

[hells-librarian.livejournal.com]

Bee - uh - triss normally

Bee'triss when I'm talking fast

It's a lovely name, but it's the name of my evil step-grandmother. I could never use it.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

BEE-ah-triss
and I don't like it but it's not completely awful.

[coolteamblt.livejournal.com]

I want to adore the name, but it's my grandmother's name, who is one of the meanest people on the planet. I've always said it BEE-ah-triss. My grandmother has been called BB, Bee, Baya, or Trixie.

[rowan-belle.livejournal.com]

Bee-Uh-Triss. Nicknames could be... Bea, Bee, Triss? That name always makes me think of those Ramona Quimby books - her older sister was named Beatrice and they called her Beezus.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

oh cool thanks for the link. what do the dd/dh/dw/ds stuff stand for?

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

dd = darling daughter/dear daughter
dh = is for husband
dw = wife
ds = son

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I say it BEE-ah-triss. I like it, but I like Beatrix much better! ;)

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I love it, but it's my husband's grandmother and I would not give his family the satisfaction of using it.

I pronounce it "BEE-ah-triss" but they all say "BEE-triss," which is awful and ugly-sounding.

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

BEE-AH-TRIS

I prefer Beatrix

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Beatrice is a favorite of mine. It always makes me think of Shakespeare's Beatrice, "born under a dancing star." I pronounce it BEE-uh-triss.
