LOL, I didn't even see this post before I posted below about the Italian pronunciations of the combo
Lucia Beatrice. :b
1.
Lavinia is a name that is growing on me as well. It was near spoiled for me by the character in "A Little
Princess" though, as well as the possible "
Vinnie" nn (or Lav, ewww), which I greatly dislike for either gender. :-/
2. I much prefer the English prn. of
Beatrice, a name I adore. But the Italian one is fun to say as well. I'm one of silly nicknames and terms of endearment, so it would be like me to call my dd bay-ah-TREE-chay quite often for no good reason. :b
