Strong in history, lovely and energetic in sound, this is a fantastic name.

Beatrix is a very old fashioned name and very unusual. It could
have been around for at least 150 years.

It's a beautiful name, very pretty and elegant.

I prefer Beatrix to Beatrice, it sounds a little more original. I love the meaning as well! A lovely name.

-- nelirosala  11/25/2006

I think it's pretty cool. It's quite unique these days. Very lovely.

I like this name better than Beatrice because it's spunkier and the association of Beatrix Kiddo isn't a bad one because she is strong, not wimpy and delicate.

I love this name. It's beautiful and classy like Beatrice but more unique.

Beatrix is a really cute name!

Well, I just HATE Trixie, and I can imagine some people'd nickname you that.

-- Surreal  4/25/2007

Classy and lovely!

I love the name Beatrix but the nickname Trixie is a really weak-sounding and annoying name.

I was practically raised on Beatrix Potter stories, so of course I look fondly upon this name. I really like the way it sounds. It makes me think of rabbits (though I'm sure it's just because of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter). If I ever have kids, and my firstborn is a girl, I'll name her Beatrix. And of course I'll read her lots and lots of Beatrix Potter stories.

I do love this name. However, I'm for some reason attracted to its Latin ancestor, Viatrix. Hmm. A great name though. And Beatrix Kiddo kicks ass, by the way.

I prefer Beatrice, as I don't really like the end of the name. I hate the nickname Trixie, and would suggest parents who choose this name to call the girl Bea instead. That, or Beatrix. On the other hand, I think Bellatrix is a cool name despite the ending. But the whole unconventionality of the ending is part of the charm in that unusual name. Beatrix is more conventional, and I happen to like the even more conventional-sounding Beatrice better.

I love this name, and it is on my short list of considerations for my next child (we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet). I prefer it to Beatrice, which I always want to pronounce in Italian. I actually like the nickname Trixie for a little girl, but maybe not so much for an adult. I absolutely hate the nickname Bea--it makes me think of Bea Arthur. That's not an image I would want to project on a little girl.

Great name!

-- walesgal92  2/17/2009

I think Beatrix is a really nice alternative. Trixie is a cute nickname for a little girl, but not for an adult. If I would ever name a daughter Beatrix, I would make sure she doesn't develop that nickname.
