BEH-a-triks (German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian)
This is my baby daughter's name, and I love it, but people have trouble with it. While we pronounce her name BEE-ə-triks, everyone else says BEE-triks - if we're lucky and they hear the x. Most of the time people think her name is Beatrice. So, instead of calling her BEE-ə-triks, most people call her BEE-tris. It's frustrating. Even my mom can't get it right! I'm tempted to just introduce her as Bea and stop saying her full name. (Also, nickname-wise, my brother-in-law calls her Bix.)
Hungarian pronunciation: BE-awt-riks.
Pronounced BE-ah-triks in German. [noted -ed]
