I like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] as [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] can lead to [name_u]Lou[/name_u] - always a good nn possibility.
Or:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elke[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
I’m not crazy about the back-to-back e’s in your combos. I think [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] sounds better with middle names that begin with consonants and don’t have a pronounced “s” or “ee” sound. If I had to choose one from your poll, it would be [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
I didn’t choose [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - too heavy on the same sounds ( “ee” and “s”)
I didn’t choose [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] - repetitive s’s

I just don’t like ‘E’ names. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
I don’t think E- middle names flow well with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] but I picked [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]!
As a [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] myself, I have got to say, go for something unique and small. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is a mouthful (although I couldn’t love my name more)!
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Coral[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Luzia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Avis[/name_f]
Beatrice Margot
Beatrice Eve
…
and the list goes on…
I don’t like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] because they have the same syllable count and stress as [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (3 syllables, accent on first syllable) so it doesn’t flow. But [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] doesn’t flow either because the consonants are too similar, imo. It sounds “hissy.”
I suggest:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] - my fave
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eila[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatriz[/name_f] [name_u]Lane[/name_u] is how I would do it! [name_m]Just[/name_m] shortened [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] down for ease of use, and I personally like the Spanish/Portuguese spelling over the [name_m]French[/name_m]/English sp [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].
Of the three middles, I like [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] best, however, with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] as first, [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] sounds and looks best by far (so [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] got my vote).
Not sure why people are saying [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. The name makes the same sounds so it blends and sounds too cumbersome. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is okay, with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] being my favorite.
I do agree that the back-to-back E’s are a bit bothersome, though. And I definitely prefer the [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] spelling. I think shorter names work best paired with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], but that’s not to say it’s a hard-and-fast rule. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] (a take on [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] that is my favorite on the list)
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] (love this one)
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] (-ey sounding middles work rather well with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f])
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u]
If you love Beanie-[name_f]Ella[/name_f], you could opt for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] best because there’s a bit too much ss sound in the other two combos.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] flows best in my opinion! Beanie-[name_f]Ella[/name_f] is so cute!
