Re: Nuria & Beata
I love Beata! It's one of my top names for a girl. I would love to use it some day (even though I'm an American and will have to train everyone to pronounce it properly.) I figure that if Americans can learn that Sean is said like Shawn they can figure out Beata is like the first part of Beatrice with an A on the end.Nuria sounds like the name of a nerve medicine to me...or like a mis-type of nutria.

Beata isn't pronounced like the first part of Beatrice though. It's beh-AH-tah not BEE-ə-tah (like Beatrice is pronounced in English). (Ignore everything if you were referring to the Italian pronunciation of Beatrice).
