HelpBeatrice and Lavinia
1. In the past, I've said I dislike Lavinia, but the more I see it, the more it's growing on me. WDYT and what would you pair it with?
2. Also, I already love Beatrice, but what do you think of prn Bay-ah-TREE-chay? (I'll probably stick with regular Beatrice prn, but I'm curious what you think of that sound. I think it's gorgeous, but it would be an absolute pain to always correct people since I won't be moving to Italy any time soon.)

LOL, I didn't even see this post before I posted below about the Italian pronunciations of the combo Lucia Beatrice. :b
1. Lavinia is a name that is growing on me as well. It was near spoiled for me by the character in "A Little Princess" though, as well as the possible "Vinnie" nn (or Lav, ewww), which I greatly dislike for either gender. :-/
2. I much prefer the English prn. of Beatrice, a name I adore. But the Italian one is fun to say as well. I'm one of silly nicknames and terms of endearment, so it would be like me to call my dd bay-ah-TREE-chay quite often for no good reason. :b

hehe I agree about Lucia Beatrice! :)
I agree; I don't like the NN for Lavinia, but maybe as a MN or something that wouldn't matter as much. I love both prn of Beatrice, and yes, that would be cool to just call her that occasionally because it is so sweet. :)
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

I, of course, love and adore Lavinia, especially as a middle name. As a middle name, I would pair it with none other than Olga. :) As a first name, I think it works well with Catherine, Margaret, Emily, Chloe, Emma, Patience, Felicity, Mercy, Evelyn, Josephine, Sophie, Eloise, Mary, Stephanie, Eugenie, Eleanor, Nora, Hazel and Zoë.
I'm over the moon in regards to Beatrice. It's a perfect name, IMO. The Italian pronunciation is very exotic and I would love to use it... if I was in Europe. I believe it's the pronunciation used in Danté's Inferno.

I can tell you that it is, indeed, the prn used for the Inferno (Dante being Italian), which is what has me thinking about it. And I, of course, love all prn Italian! :)
I would love Ava Lavinia, but Ava is so popular. Same with Emma, which would be lovely with it from your suggestions. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

I don't like Beatrice either way you say it, and the bay-ah-TREE-chay one sounds extremely pretentious. Sorry!

I love Lavinia. My mom read it a book recently and it showed it to me. She thought I'd never heard of it before, but I had and actually disliked it until that moment. Suddenly it was very appealing. Lavinia Iris springs to mind.
I agree with you 100% on Beatrice. Bay-a-TREE-chay is really a gorgeous pronunciation, but it'd be too much of a hassle.

I will dub my first child Alexander. If you want to know what will occur if my first child is a girl, I will tell you. He will not be a girl.

Lavinia is seriously one of my pet peeve names, sorry. I think it sounds like a whiny child. However, this is just my opinion. Lavinia and Beatrice actually sounds like a good sibset. Lavinia and Marissa also popped into my head.

That prn. is lovely! I've actually never heard it before. I have a soft spot for this name, as I think it's a sweet sounding name that will age well.
