I heart [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name]. I’m currently reading a biography of her (A Life In Nature by [name]Linda[/name] Lear) and loving her more and more for every page I read! I’d love to use the name [name]Beatrix[/name], but can’t as a first name because my husband’s cousin’s daughter is named [name]Beatrice[/name] (which we think is really too similar). We see them a lot, too, so we really can’t have a [name]Beatrix[/name]. BUT we can have [name]Beatrix[/name] as a middle name! Here are a few combinations I’ve come up with. Could you please let me know your favourite and if you have any other suggestions? Thank you kindly berries
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] really stand out to me. [name]Lovely[/name]! I know a sweet toddler named [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], so I also have to put in a good word for the idea of [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name].
I like the flow of these the best:
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
I think [name]Alice[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], and [name]Violet[/name] are my favorites with [name]Beatrix[/name] (and what a lovely namesake in [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name]!)
Other suggestions:
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Agnes[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Emily[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] (I know [name]Emily[/name] is incredibly popular, but I can’t help but love her.)
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
I once set out to make name combos out of my favorite names; [name]Beatrix[/name] being towards the top of the list. I didnt get very far, but the only thing I could come up with was [name]Ella[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Lucy[/name]. I also think [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] sounds nice. Having a first name that ends in a vowel makes the B sound much easier to say. x[name]Poppy[/name]
@krismichelle - You’ve absolutely NAILED my naming style! All the names you suggested are on my long list apart from [name]Amelia[/name] (can’t have because it’s my cousin’s daughter’s name, but love) and [name]Emily[/name] (too popular)!
A nature name would honour [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name] since that’s what she wrote about and studied. [name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name], or [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] would fit the bill. (I like [name]Hazel[/name] or [name]Flora[/name] with [name]Beatrix[/name], best).
Alternatives:
[name]Lily[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] (although [name]Lily[/name] is VERY popular)
[name]Wren[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] (you could nn her [name]Jenny[/name])
My favorite’s from your list are
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Margot[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
Some other names I would suggest
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Lilith[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]
My favourite name is [name]Susannah[/name], but I don’t think it’s the best match for [name]Beatrix[/name]. My favourites are [name]Alice[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Harriet[/name]. Thanks for your help!
For that reason, I really like [name]Flora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name].
