[name_m]Can[/name_m] I get lists of suggestions that are like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] in the sense that they’re not very popular in the US (around the top 1000 but traditional names, 5-8 letters, with more than one nickname) and I’d like to know if everyone immediately thinks of [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] Lestrange when they hear [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] or not?

Definitely not, I think of Beatrix Potter if anything.
I’m always so surprised that Imogen is so low the US, it feels ubiquitous (but not overdone) in the U.K.!
How about… (all from the bottom 300 of the US chart)

I know a few of these are not 5-8 letters, but I wanted to add them just in case you hadn’t thought of them yet.

I don’t personally, but I’ve had a few people mention it when I’ve brought up Beatrix in casual conversation (not just that it’s similar – they thought it was the same name!)
First though was [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]…
Second thought: [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
But also…
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] !!! Feels very similar in style
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]

[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]

Ecletic but IMO wouldn’t go that bad:

[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] / [name_f]Clarisse[/name_f]
Aliénor
[name_f]Flaminia[/name_f]
[name_f]Thelma[/name_f]
