My Beatrice daughter goes by Bea-to-rhyme-with-pea and gets rather frothy if people try to Beeuh her - she says it makes her feel like a barmaid!
Because of long-deceased Dutch royalty I suppose, Afrikaans-speaking South Africans assume that the -a in Bea is sounded as a neutral vowel, so she gets barmaided a lot.
