Re: Beatrice?
in reply to a message by slbond
I love Beatrice. I can't see myself using it, but it's part of an overall trend that I love -- reviving names from the past. It's the same thrill I get seeing an older home in the neighborhood brought back to life.
I think Bea is a darling nn. I even like the nn Bebe, but perhaps not when she's older.
Beatrice Rebecca -- Both lovely names. I just don't think they mesh well.
Beatrice Isabel -- Lovely combination. But I prefer English / Scottish Isobel over Spanish Isabel here.
Beatrice Ariane -- Nice flow, but Ariane doesn't fit the style of Beatrice, at least in my mind. Something less exotic. Beatrice Marianne?
Beatrice Claire -- This is perfect and by far your best combination listed.
May I give it a shot?
Beatrice Ivy
Beatrice Lily (although there was a famous actress once, Beatrice Lillie)
Beatrice Anne
Beatrice Hazel
Beatrice Helen (very Victorian)
Beatrice Evelyn
Beatrice Laurel
Beatrice Charlotte (perhaps the "s" and "sh" sounds collide?)
Beatrice Lucy
Beatrice Mary
