I don’t like the feel of just the initial “B.” It’s seems like there should be more. Of the other choices, [name_f]Bee[/name_f] has a charming nature connection, whilst [name_f]Bea[/name_f] has the benefit of feeling more grounded. It is in the middle spot so I wouldn’t worry too much about mispronunciations.

No interest in something like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] B./[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f]/[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] for short?

I voted for [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. I feel like it looks the nicest and feels the most ‘namey’.

I like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]! Adorable!

I love [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]!

[name_f]Do[/name_f] people really pronounce it as Be-ah? [name_m]Just[/name_m] tell them it rhymes with ‘sea’ and it should be fine.

I love [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]!

I voted [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f].

I would pronounce [name_f]Bea[/name_f] like the start of [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], which is bee-a-tris in my country, so I’d say it bee-a.

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is the best option since [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is like someone else previously pointed out the only real “name” option. I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it anything other than the same as “bee.”

It seems a bit silly and pointless to just have an initial for a middle name, like you want her to have a middle name but can’t come up with anything. [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] is really sweet. If [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Plum[/name_f] and [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] can be names, why not [name_f]Bee[/name_f]? [name_f]Bea[/name_f] seems unfinished to me, like it should be [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] would be lovely if you like that.

I chose [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. I’ve always loved [name_f]Bea[/name_f], and paired with [name_f]Molly[/name_f] it’s really cute! I don’t think that the “B? [name_m]Just[/name_m] like a letter?” thing will happen too often. A friend’s name is [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u], and she rarely has any trouble with it.

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is my vote. [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is a solid name; no one will pronounce it [name_f]Bee[/name_f]-ah.

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] is adorable and if you’re after the pronunciation ‘b’ that’s what I’d go for. I would pronounce [name_f]Bea[/name_f] as ‘bee-ah’ (which just makes me think of beer! Not a fan).

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] - so sweet! [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bee[/name_f] is very cute too, but maybe a little too cute for me. [name_f]Molly[/name_f] B. just seems unfinished - I think the irritation of people asking what the “B.” stands for would far outweigh the potential problem of [name_f]Bea[/name_f] occasionally being pronounced “bee-uh”. I don’t think that would happen often at all, but if it bothers you then go with [name_f]Bee[/name_f].

I like the mystery of [name_f]Molly[/name_f] B. It reminds me of [name_m]Harry[/name_m] S. [name_m]Truman[/name_m]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is cute, but don’t be afraid of the single initial idea. I know someone whose first name is J-- not [name_u]Jay[/name_u]. Plus, [name_m]Harry[/name_m] S. [name_m]Truman[/name_m]'s middle name was just S.
