Beatrice/Beatrix
Just wondering what everyone thinks of these two names and what sort of connotation they have, if any. According to this site, Beatrix has never been popular, and Beatrice has gone down steadily throughout the century.
Do they sound old-fashioned in a good or bad way? Does Beatrice remind you of Dante?
Which of the two do you prefer? I love Beatrix, with the possible nn Bea. There's something about the X that I find really cool, but I don't know why.
