I like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is my fave!
From your list, I love:

My favorite from your list by far is [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. I love how happy and bright it feels! I also like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I personally think that more uncommon yet familiar, vintage-type names work best with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. I adore names like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Opaline[/name_f], [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f], etc. but I think they’re a bit too much with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] & [name_u]June[/name_u], in that order!
I really like something short and sweet with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
I love so many names from your list, but I think [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] needs an equally bright, feisty, stylish middle to complement her, so from your list my favourites are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] (although I think [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] would make an amazing sister for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f])
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
My favorites are…

I love Beatrix Violet! I think the combo is both sweet and spunky, and it’s always wonderful when a combo finds that balance. If you’re considering two middles I think Beatrix Violet June would be stunning! It eliminates the potential initials problem while keeping the middle that you seem to love the most.
If Beatrix June is your favorite combo, I think the initials BJ won’t be an issue taking into account that your last name will be there, too. If it really bothers you (which I could understand) I think Beatrix Violet June is a good way to go!
Thank you, midwinter! Two middle names would totally solve the problem but my SO doesn’t love the idea unfortunately. I’m sure he’d give in though if it really came to that. I think this might be something we decide once she’s born, I just wish I felt more satisfied with a combo!
Please excuse me upfront, I’m feeling long-winded today:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] is a fabulous name. It has a beautiful, cheerful meaning, and lots of cool history behind it. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] is a fascinating namesake for any little girl. I can see how it would be difficult to find the perfect middle name for such an outstanding first. I think that if the name doesn’t feel finished now, waiting until [name_u]December[/name_u] to meet [name_f]Bea[/name_f] is such a special way to ensure her name fits her perfectly.
Anyways, here we are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is lovely, and I don’t think BJ is a problem, especially because when she writes her initials, she’s almost always be including the first letter of her surname as well. Because of your qualms with the association, though, I don’t think this name is for you. It doesn’t feel exactly right, in my opinion.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is a fantastic name, reminding me of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Beecher[/name_m] [name_m]Stowe[/name_m] and literature and all the strong women of [name_u]America[/name_u]’s past. However, this, too, doesn’t feel exactly right. The 3/3 syllable with some shared sounds, combined with your surname, feels very [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Beecher[/name_m] [name_m]Stowe[/name_m]-sounding. Perhaps to a fault.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is impeccable! Sweet and pretty and so, so happy. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is aristocratic in the coolest way. A kick-butt princess name! [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] has a lot of cool contrasting sounds, with the X and the Z. An awesome contender.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] seem too lengthy and too short consecutively, although both beautiful in separate ways.
All the rest have similar issues with me. All perfect names, but each seeming not quite perfect with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], in my opinion.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. In the end, my favorite has to be [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] brings an earthiness to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] that the others don’t achieve, and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] has been worn by a great many brave and amazing ladies, just like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].
I imagine a person called [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] to be a wonderer and a wanderer. She reads the stories of girls whose knowledge and intelligence is their power. She creates whole worlds inside of her imagination. As she grows, her strength only elaborates. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] carries with her a mind of her own, filled with passion for life and her possibilities. She stands up for others and for herself always. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is a bearer of good news. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] trees are the bearers of wisdom in ancient folklore, another beautiful story to connect with your daughter’s name.
I mentioned this in the ‘Names on NB that make you go WOW’ forum but I thought I’d mention it again. Two middles would be great and it takes away some of the pressure as you don’t have to shorten your list so much. I’m sure that your SO wouldn’t mind having two middles if it helped you and made you happy. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] are all beautiful options. If I had to choose one I’d probably go with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] because I love it with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] so much.
Here are a couple of lists.
Too much/long with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Opaline[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
Sorry that that one’s so long, many of them would be perfect sisters for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] but are a bit too long for a middle name.
My Favourites with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
- [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f]!
Other than that, [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] are perfect.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] are my favorites for a middle name
I appreciate your response so so much! This made me tear up! Please be long-winded forever. 
You’re right, I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f]/[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but they’re not quite right.
Thank you, gia.berry! You’re all helping me see that my top choices have been good all along. I think I see something like your [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and change my mind completely (or [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] omg). Agreed that those names are too much/too long for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]…I think I needed others to say it lol.
Lots of great options, but my favorites are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
I think you said you have a one syllable last name so I don’t like the two or three syllable middles best (4 feels a little long with [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] to me).
