HelpI'm thinking about Beatrice...
What do you think of Beatrice?
How does it compare to Beatrix?
Other than Bea, are their any known/acceptable nn's that might develop?
What about these combos:
Beatrice Helen
Beatrice Susan
Beatrice Kay
Beatrice Mary
Beatrice Clare
Others?
Thanks!

I prefer Beatrice but Beatrix is okay, Beatrice just seems a softer more gentle form of the name
Beatrice Mary is lovely and my favorite of your combos but I like Beatrice Helen Beatrice Susan and Beatrice Clare as well
Beatrice Kay - doesnt sound quite right to my ears
Some names I like with it are
Beatrice Amelia
Beatrice Elouise
Beatrice Juliet
Beatrice Lily
Beatrice Margaret
Beatrice Olivia
Beatrice Rosemary
Beatrice Victoria
I slightly prefer it as a middle name myself, in fact if I were to of had any more children my next daughter would definately of had Beatrice as her middle name either Alexandra Beatrice or Elisabeth Beatrice
I also like
Catherine Beatrice
Liliana Beatrice
Rosamund Beatrice
Rosemary Beatrice
Sophia Beatrice

1. What do you think of Beatrice?
I love it! It's been on my favorites list for awhile, and it has been slowly creeping higher and higher. I would seriously use it as a FN. or a MN. It wouldn't matter, but my point (lol, if I ever have one) is that it's not one of those names on my list because I just like it; I'd actually use it! :)
2. How does it compare to Beatrix?
I prefer Beatrice a lot more. I don't like the -trix on the end; it seems trashy, and it is harsh sounding.
3. Other than Bea, are their any known/acceptable nn's that might develop?
I don't know. I would probably call her Bea part of the time (I think it's cute), but I love Beatrice whole!
4. What about these combos:
Beatrice Helen - Very classical to my literary ears. I like it; it's very pretty, and it flows well.
Beatrice Susan - I don't like Susan much, but I think it seems sort of stunted in the middle, especially with some soft like Beatrice as the FN.
Beatrice Kay - Don't like the flow.
Beatrice Mary - It's nice. I'm so used to seeing Marie/Maria as a MN that this is sort of refreshing, but still not my favorite.
Beatrice Clare - Love this, but Clare happens to be on my list, too. This spelling!
5. Others?
I'm having a hard time with that myself, but some that I've considered lately:
Beatrice Amelia
Beatrice Constance
Beatrice Louisa

I really love Beatrice as a whole as well. The more I think about it, Bea seems just the perfect nn. The lack of nn's that I don't like is also a positive since I'm sure that Trix or Trixie would be inevitable if Beatrix were used instead. I'm glad to see another Clare-no-i fan. I seem to feel outnumbered sometimes! Beatrice Louisa has a lovely melodic quality to it. I've added it to the list. Thanks!

I like both Beatrice and Beatrix at the moment, but Beatrice slighly more. Both names have an old-fashioned charm, but I think Beatrice is more versitale, and it doesn't have a hard X at the end.'
As for nns, I like Bea. Some other that might develop include Trixie (especially for Beatrix), Trissy, or even Trista!
I love most of your combos! I think Beatrice Susan has a soft, nice flow to it, and others- especially Beatrice Mary and beatrice Helen- continue the pretty, old-fashioned charm! :-)
A few other:
Beatrice Maria
Beatrice Millicent
Beatrice Catherine (I think this spelling works the best)
Beatrice Joy
Beatrice Eleanor/ Eleanora
Beatrice Jane
Beatrice Genevieve
Beatrice Louise
I hope this helps! :-D

I prefer Beatrice to Beatrix at the moment. Beatrix seems a bit gimmicky to me at the moment, "omg! It is totally a name of a star, and in harry potter, and in kill bill, plus not a stuffy as beatrice" which isn't really what people think, but in my strang mind they do.
Plus, Beatrice has old fashion charm. :-)
Other nns: Trice, Trixy, Tricy (Trissy), Beat, Beat-tric (new varient no beatnic), Bebe...
Of the combos, my favorites are Beatrice Susan and Beatrice Kay, because I think the softish K and S sounds mesh well with Beatrice. The others are nice, too, but I like these two best.
PP adopter! See profile.

I love both Beatrice and Beatrix. They're both beautiful and strong names. I find Beatrice a tad softer than Beatrix, which has more edge, but I really do like them both equally.
The only possible nicknames (for both Beatrice and Beatrix) I can think of are Bee, Trish, Trix, and Trixie.
Out of your combos, I like Beatrice Helen the best (though I personally find them all rather plain. I would rather see Beatrice/Beatrix paired with a slightly more unusual or at least edgier name. These combos are too "comfy" for my taste).
