I adore Beatrice. I'd be more inclined to use it as a mn, since it complements so many fn's I like very well. And as a fn, I'm not thrilled with the nn Bea (makes me think of Bea Arthur, lol). And when I first look at the name, it looks like "beat rice" so I'm afraid she might be teased. :-/ But I still think it's a perfectly wonderful name and due for a comeback. :)

I like Beatrice Claire best as well, and like Array said, I think it needs a one-syllable mn. Beatrice Pearl would be gorgeous, imo.
