I never used to like this name because I thought it was way too posh and stuffy sounding. I really like it now! It's amazing how you can completely change your mind about names. I also love Beatrix. I go between both of those, for which I prefer!

I think it looks a lot better written out than it sounds. I almost liked this name a lot until I said it out loud to myself one day. Visually it pleases me but I think its verbal sound is hideous.

Beautiful, old-fashioned and shakespearianI love such names!"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

I liek it but I can't imagine on an old lady. On a well-to-do little girl and on a teenager, but not on a woman.

I like it, and I LOVE Beatrix.
They are both so classical and not overly common in any time period.

Beatrice is a lovely name; as it happens, Beatrix is one of my favorite names, with Beatrice just slightly behind it.
