HelpRe: Beatrice and Lavinia
in reply to a message by Adelle
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.
