[Facts] Re: Pronunciation Question: Bea
My daughter Beatrice uses Bea with the sound of the insect or the letter of the alphabet. Some people who are more used to Afrikaans/Dutch make it sound more like BAYa, which annoys her because it's too close for comfort to 'beer' or 'bayer'. But I can't answer for Americans.She's never signed her name with a B, which I think would solve the problem.
