I really like this - I'd never use it (partly because our former queen was Beatrix, and this sounds so much like it - I wouldn't want my daughter to be associated with her, really. Not that she was a bad queen, but it would overshadow my daughter's personality, perhaps), but it's wonderful. I've always loved the character, she's such an interesting woman. Twisted and cruel, but still feminine, and I think her name reflects that. I'd love to hear a little girl say "I'm Bella - short for Bellatrix", but that little girl won't be my daughter.

I definitely prefer Bella as a nickname purely because it'd be surprising to hear her full name. Trix is nice, but I don't like Trixie. I actually knew a girl called Trix once. I don't know if that was her full name or not.

I know, it's all horrible teenage angst.
