While Beatrice is certainly a beautiful name, I prefer Beatrix. I pronounce them BEE-uh-triss and BEE-uh-triks. I would consider using Beatrix for a potential future daughter, but if my partner really didn't like it I could settle for Beatrice.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
