I love
Beatrice. I can't see myself using it, but it's part of an overall trend that I love -- reviving names from the past. It's the same thrill I get seeing an older home in the neighborhood brought back to life.
I think
Bea is a darling nn. I even like the nn Bebe, but perhaps not when she's older.
Beatrice Rebecca -- Both lovely names. I just don't think they mesh well.
Beatrice Isabel -- Lovely combination. But I prefer English / Scottish
Isobel over Spanish
Isabel here.
Beatrice Ariane -- Nice flow, but
Ariane doesn't fit the style of
Beatrice, at least in my mind. Something less exotic.
Beatrice Marianne?
Beatrice Claire -- This is perfect and by far your best combination listed.
May I give it a shot?
