What Middle Name for Beatrix?

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are strongly leaning toward [name]Beatrix[/name] as a first name for our first baby. I know there are opinions either way on this first name, but of all the names we’ve thrown around it’s our favorite so far. We’ve started talking about what middle name to match with it, and I thought I’d pick the brains of all you Nameberries. Here are some we are considering:

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ann/name ([name]Ann[/name] was my middle name before I got married)
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] ([name]Ruth[/name] is a family name)
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Margot[/name]

Our last name an uncommon one with three syllables and starting with a “Z”. What do you all think of the options we’ve got so far and do you have any others?

Thanks for your help and suggestions!

I like [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Anne[/name]. [name]Rose[/name] is pretty but overused as a middle. What about [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]?

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Helena[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

I like [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Anne[/name] and [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Margot[/name] best off your list. For some reason, R middle names don’t seem to flow as well with [name]Beatrix[/name] in my opinion. I think shorter is best, even though [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Helena[/name] is my favorite [name]Beatrix[/name] combination, but here are some ideas!

[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Fern[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Maude[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Nell[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]

Oh! I’m loving [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]! [name]Beatrix[/name] is a great name. When’s she due ([name]Pearl[/name] is [name]June[/name]'s birth stone!)?

[name]Lemon[/name] :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the replies! We were thinking of staying away from middle names starting with “J” (even though I love [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]June[/name]) because of the initials BJ. I like the [name]Beatrix[/name] M____ combination, so thanks for the other “M” names to consider. And [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Adele[/name] is beautiful!

My due date is in [name]August[/name] so we’ve got a few weeks to roll the names around in our heads – this is what we did for [name]Beatrix[/name]. My husband first brought it up a few months ago, and we’ve been mulling it over ever since until it’s risen to the top.

I’ll definitely let you all know what we’ve decided!

We (think) we have chosen [name]Beatrix[/name] too. We really love [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] and will call her [name]Bebe[/name]. Though, we do have strong feelings babe is a boy!

[name]August[/name]'s birthstone is peridot, which is the gem-quality form of olivine, so maybe [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Olive[/name] or [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Olivia[/name]? The birth flower is poppy… [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Poppy[/name]?
