What even is this name..? It's rice with a B and sounds like bitchy.

Just so the Anglophones know: in Italian this would be pronounced BEE-tcheh (so last "e" isn't pronounced as an "ee", but more as the "a" in "can"), so the pronunciation is a bit different from "bitchy". I still understand why you'd like to avoid any possible misunderstanding.

Some people have alluded to it, but since no one has actually just come out and said it so far, I will. To Anglophone ears, the Italian pronunciation "BEE-che" sounds too similar to the English word "bitchy", which is bound to cause problems in the playground. ;-P.

Pronounced bee-Che, just like it says. But in America, it'd probably be pronounced as BICE.

Bice was hardly ever used as a given name. It is not really a short form, but more than anything a nickname for Beatrice. As a nickname it is very dated and typical of old women. The youngest Italian Beatrice are often called Bea (BEH-ah).

Pronounced bise? or bees? Either way, not pretty to the anglophone ear!

Umm, this name wouldn't really be, in a manner of speech, acceptable in anglophone countries.
