[name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Jane[/name], and [name]Vivian[/name] sound super sweet together <3
Love your name choices, by the way! And congrats on your girl!
I like both [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] and I think that both sound good with your other daughters names. However I much prefer [name]Fiona[/name] with the middle name [name]Grace[/name] and I think it sounds loads better with your last name. The repeated ce/s sounds make it a bit lispy sounding to me.
I think [name]Beatrice[/name] is my favorite, and it sounds the best with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name] in my opinion. However, [name]Beatrice[/name] grace is too repetitive in sound, so I ultimately voted for [name]Fiona[/name]. It is my second favorite, and it sounds better with grace. Not a fan of [name]Henrietta[/name] at all.
[name]Henrietta[/name] doesn’t compare to [name]Fiona[/name] or [name]Beatrice[/name] imo. [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] are quirky, lovely and feminine, while [name]Henrietta[/name] seems kinda boring and too old fashioned. [name]Beatrice[/name] got my vote!
I personally like [name]Beatrice[/name] best of your three choices. I just like the name - the sound of it and that it has a history and was used in literature.
Secondarily, it matches [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name] fairly well - substantial names with a vintage feel. [name]Fiona[/name] is a bit too modern in comparison to [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name].
I would normally choose [name]Beatrice[/name] (it is one of my favorite names) but I don’t think it works with your last name very well. [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Mathis[/name]…kind of hard to say, honestly. So I voted for [name]Fiona[/name]. I think it works better with your other daughter’s names and is a great name by itself! [name]Henrietta[/name] is also a lovely name but I feel it would stick out like a sore thumb when you see all the names together.
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is a really beautiful combo and imo, it goes the best with your last name. And to me [name]Beatrice[/name] sounds the best with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name].
Thanks for the feedback all!
I was a little nervous about the ce/is pronunciation in the [name]Beatrice[/name] combo as some point out. DH absolutely loves the NN that come with [name]Henrietta[/name], but i worry about the popularity of [name]Henry[/name] for boys and the overall fit of the name with her sisters’ names. Really useful info for us to consider though.
I like the sweetness of [name]Beatrice[/name] the best, but if [name]Beatrix[/name] was an option, that would for sure get my vote. I think [name]Jane[/name], [name]Vivian[/name], and [name]Beatrix[/name] would be lovely together. [name]Henrietta[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] are lovely with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name], as well. As they are, though, [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Grace[/name] gets my vote–it’s lovely with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name], and I love the nns [name]Etta[/name] and [name]Hetty[/name]/[name]Hattie[/name].
I think [name]Beatrice[/name] is great with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name]! I also like ash’s suggestion of [name]Beatrix[/name].
i really like henrietta with grace and your last name. i think the combo of beatrice grace m…is might be too many 'ce, 'ce, 'is sounds together.
In order my favorites are [name]Henrietta[/name] [name]Grace[/name], then [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and lastly [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. [name]Henry[/name] is popular for boys, but [name]Etta[/name] and I think [name]Hattie[/name] (though commonly used as a nn for [name]Harriet[/name], could work as a nn for [name]Henrietta[/name], as well) could both work as nn’s for [name]Henrietta[/name]. I’m not very fond of [name]Fiona[/name] myself (all I get is the Shrek association, which isn’t necessarily bad), but I do think it works with your other daughters’ names well. [name]Beatrice[/name] has too many repeat sounds. ([name]Truth[/name] be told, I’ve never liked this one, anyway. Despite the fact that most other people do!)
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Grace[/name] for me
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Mathis[/name] is to tongue twistery, I went for [name]Fiona[/name] though I think [name]Henrietta[/name] would work fine too.
I [name]LOVE[/name] all of them but I have a secret [name]LOVE[/name] for [name]Henrietta[/name]-but any of them will be fine.
[name]Beatrice[/name] is my favorite with [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name]. I like that they are 1, 2, and 3 syllables and they are all classics that I consider more uncommon.
[name]Fiona[/name] is so tired and common now, I must say. I vote either going with [name]Henrietta[/name] or [name]Beatrice[/name], which are both classier in the long run.
