I don't care for either name but my vote goes for Beatrix because it looks and sounds a tad more interesting than Beatrice.

At present, I prefer Beatrix, but both are in my top five.

Love both, but I think Beatrix has more spunk.

Beatrice rolls off my tongue more readily and easily than Beatrix, which seems to get stuck in my throat. Beatrice just sounds prettier, IMO.

I like Beatrix a bit more, but I like both.

I think Beatrix is sweet, and it makes me think of Beatrix Potter, but the "trix" part bothers me, as well as the possible nn Trixie, which I really dislike. I adore Beatrice, however. It just sounds more elegant and sophisticated to me than Beatrix, but it can also suit a girl-next-door type personality, IMO.

for the sole reason of the Italian pronunciation lessening the impact of whatever it is about Beatrix and Beatrice that bothers me so very much. It's really high on my list of names that I dislike. Something about its sound has always rubbed me the wrong way.

I prefer Beatrice, looks alone it's more appealing.

Beatrix, because the 'x' ending makes the name sound stronger. Plus Beatrice always makes me think of Junie B. Jones. I used to read those books when I was younger, which may be another reason that I like Beatrix better.

I really don't care for either, but I do know several people who love Beatrix "Trixie" but loathe Beatrice.

I prefer Beatrix, because I love Beatrix Potter and I also love the nn Trixie.

Beatrix, because it reminds me of Beatrix Potter (used to love her books as a kid) I like both though and with the nn Bea.

Beatrice, because the softer look (and sound) of the c appeals more to me. It is also my grandmother's name though so I'm a bit bias:)

It depends on my mood. Beatrice is more stately and dignified. Beatrix is more cute and nostalgic. I couldn't pick one over the other.
