Beatrice or Beatrix?
I can't decide which one I like better. What do you think? Beatrice sounds more regal and classic to me, while Beatrix is more spunky. We're having twins, and if one's a girl (hopefully) she'll be named Beatri____. I just can't decide. Any opinions? Combo ideas? Other kids are George and Philomena.

Beatrix! It's my most favorite name. My combo is Beatrix Annora Maud. I love Trixie as a nickname, sooo cute!I liked Beatrice until someone told me all they saw was the words "beat" and "rice", now all I think of with Beatrice is "beat rice"...

I just prefer the sound of Beatrice. I suppose it's because I once knew a lady named Trixie. She was nice enough but her name was tragic, imo. The thought of Beatrix turning into Trixie would give me pause.

Although I love both Beatrice and Beatrix, I prefer Beatrice.

BeatriceIt sounds softer, more classic, and I generally just don't like X. :)

They're both lovely. My personal favourite is Beatrice, with the Italian pronunciation, but Beatrix goes better with your other children I think. :)

BeatrixWhile I enjoy both, I think that a little Beatrix will look fabulous listed among siblings named George and Philomena. Beatrice makes the set look very "dated" and old-fashioned (which isn't bad, don't get me wrong!) while Beatrix is a little edgier but still a classic name. It gives the set more glamor and oomph.

Beatriceif you would've asked me six months ago I would have said Beatrix without a doubt, but now I'm really loving Beatrice. It sounds... smoother to me. It's soooooo pretty! Beatrice, George and Philomena would be an OUTSTANDING sibset! Beatrix is great too, though :)
