Help[Opinions] Re: Beatrice or Beatrix (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Beatrice recently made it on my list. I'm loving it. I pronounce both with three syllables.
My history with this name: I first heard it from a friend who was obsessed with Beatrix "Trixie" Belden growing up and swore her first daughter was going to be Beatrix "Trixie". I thought it was weird, not my style. While I still constantly think of her when I see the Beatrix, the connection isn't as strong for Beatrice. Then I read Divergent, and absolutely love the nn "Tris".
Anyway, I don't think it sounds old at all, but I've never actually met a Beatrice / Beatrix of any age. I can see it on any age, and with multiple nn options I feel it's the best name on my list.
ETA - while I typically do like odd letters, I agree that Beatrix just doesn't look as good, real, classic? Not sure what I'm going for there but point is I don't like it.
