HelpAurora, Beatrix & Colette
aka Three Names on My Mind
Aurora - This had been a favorite of mine that had fallen by the wayside. I'm starting to like it again although I can't quite figure out what made me like it the first time.
Beatrix - I go back and forth between this and Beatrice. I'm currently prefering Beatrix. I'm not really into nns but I like the possibilities of Bea/Bee and Trixie.
Colette - I never cared much for this name but it's been stuck in my head all day and I'm starting to rethink it.
WDYT?

I ADORE Beatrix. That is my current favorite girl's name. It's so nice to see it mentioned, and I don't think Beatrice is the same at all.
I do like the nn Bea, which is something you would probably need to embrace if you were going to use Beatrix. I don't like Trixie.
(I was just reading about a new movie, "Miss Potter," about the life of Beatrix Potter. Renee Zellweger plays her. I can't wait to see it.)
About your other names: I'm not crazy about either of them. A lot of people love Aurora, but I think it's just too awkward. Colette is OK but just nms.

Aurora: Love it
Beatrix: When I see it spelt this way, I think of Beatrix Potter and little bunnies and all her characters. I like Beatrice and love nicknames Bea and Bee but I'm not fond of Trixie.
Colette: I like it a lot! This was a favourite of mine when I was a little girl and all the Colettes I've known were very sweet and friendly girls so I kind of like it because of all the good associations.

Aurora - Has always been a favourite of mine. It was one of the first names I really liked because it was one of the first names whose meaning I new. I think it's very feminine and one of those truly stunning (yet not too frilly) names.
Beatrix - Lovely. I lvoe both Beatrice and Beatrix, but I think Beatrix has more spunk. It's both elegant and strong.
Colette - It's very sweet, but doesn't strike me as anything exceptionally beautiful. I much prefer the slighlty similar Cosette.

I have a word doc with all the names I love/like/think about, and Colette is one that is on there. I really dont know when it entered, or how, but I see it every now and then, and I always wonder why its there. However, I can never get myself to delete it. There is something about it I do like, I just havent been able to figure it out.
Beatrix is okay, I had a friend obsessed with this name from the Trixie Beldon series. Between this and Beatrice, I guess I like Beatrix better, WAY better. And Trixie is really cute (I dont like Bea)
Aurora isnt really my style, but it is nice enough, for someone else's kid that is.

Aurora makes me think of Disney princesses, so I probably wouldn't use it, but the sound isn't unpretty.
I love Beatrice (oh, how soft yet strong it sounds!) much more than Beatrix. Bea could still be used, and really, I don't see why Trixie couldn't be, either.
I'm not a huge fan of Colette. I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't use it. I knew a snotty year named this in school.
