I pronounce it bee but I agree bay-uh or bee-uh are much prettier!

I would say bee-uh or bee, depending on what context I have. If I know it’s short for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] / [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], I’d say bee. If I’m not sure, I’d say bee-uh

Bee!

Bee, though I could certainly be corrected if someone preferred another pronunciation. It’s just what’s most familiar to me and so it’s what I default to.

30

I say [name_f]Bee[/name_f]-ah

31

I pronounce it “bee.”

32

I say bee-uh, but I know most pronounce it bee.

33

I’ve only ever heard it as [name_f]Bee[/name_f]. I didn’t know there were other pronunciations.

34

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Bea[/name_f] and I’ve only ever had people pronounce it as [name_f]Bee[/name_f]. Except my sister who says Bee-ah when she is mad at me.

35

For me, [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is pronounced [name_f]Bee[/name_f] when it is short for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] because that’s a name I associate with Anglophones and [name_u]Bay[/name_u] a when it is short for [name_f]Beate[/name_f] because that’s a name I’ve only heard on Germans and that’s how it’s pronounced here.

36

I naturally say “bee”, but “bay-uh” makes sense.

37

I looks like bee-uh to me. But I’ve never heard it on anyone in real life :blush:

39

I automatically assume [name_f]Bee[/name_f] but I’m pleased so many people said bay-uh because my daughter is Cléa (clay-uh) and no one ever gets it right. But yeah, I like [name_f]Bee[/name_f] but love bay-uh.

40

I’ve always said [name_f]Bee[/name_f] :honeybee::honeybee:

41

Bee! So cute.

42

bay-ah is very sweet, but I would definitely pronounce it as bee

44

I’d say [name_f]Bee[/name_f]-uh, but [name_u]Bay[/name_u]-a is nice too :slight_smile:
