Beatrix

Beatrix: an adventure on the path to the kingdom of dreams! Sparkling behind her eyes is the lure of distant lands and the promise of discovery... a frequent visitor to the garden of words, Beatrix's love for reading and writing alongside the relaxing patter of the rain fuels her endless quest for knowledge and understanding. With each turn of a page, she embarks on a new journey, traversing realms of creativity and imagination which have never before been explored, stretching far beyond the boundaries of the ordinary. But she is more than just a confused writer: she weaves spells of rhyme and reason into the dull world around her. With a flick of her pen or a whispered incantation, she adds a touch of wonder to the everyday, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary. She must discover that magic is not a force to be wielded, but a gift to be shared. With each tale she spins, she invites others to see through her eyes.

I personally prefer Beatrice.

Oh my heart, I love this name! I preferred Beatrice when I was younger and I didn’t like Trixie but now I feel the exact opposite! Beatrix is regal and quirky and Trixie/Trix is so cute, the nickname Bix/Bixie (or even Bizzie) are equally darling. 10/10, jealous of anyone with a daughter named Beatrix.

This reminds me of Beatrix Potter.

Named my daughter born last year Beatrix. We call her Bea a lot which is a cute nickname. The only downside is some people can’t read and want to call her “Beatrice”. The people who get it right the first time love the name. I do worry she will run into this all of her life, but that’s definitely the easiest problem to deal with regarding a name! I also enjoy the nickname Trixie and I feel it’s outlived the old stereotypes regarding Trixies with the newer generations and can be seen as a cute nickname again.

This is my daughter's name, so I love it!

Cool fantasy name.

I just really don't like this name, It's weird. It ends with an x too which just is odd.

I highly prefer Beatrix to the name Beatrice. I just love that “x” on the end; it makes it look cool. Also, the nickname “Trix” or “Trixie” is cute.

Beatrix is an amazing name, it's timeless, packs a punch when said and is beautifully feminine. Also love Beatrix Kiddo.

I like Beatrice. It's so lovely, classy, elegant and very unique. I absolutely love it. ❤❤.

Classic and unique!

This variant feels more striking and powerful than Beatrice. I imagine a woman with a great deal of creativity, inner strength and independence. Beatrix feels similar to Veronika and Artemis in my mind. Filled with girl power! A great choice for parents if you are into it!

Beatrix is the better spelling imo.

A beautiful name.

It’s pretty. I actually prefer this to Beatrice.

Was almost my best friend's name, Estere’s (my friend) mum was planning to call her Beatrix (the Latvian version because her mum is Latvian) but they ended up calling her Esther (Estere)
It’s unique, unlike my plain name. I actually don’t like my name that much as it’s far too common. But I like the sound of it and the spelling.

Beatrix is a sweet vintage name for a little girl. I dislike the nickname Trixie, however. Bea is a lot better.

Beautiful, there is a good chance my future child could be called this.

Hate this name and I would hate being stuck with it throughout life. Please don’t do this to a poor baby!

If this was my name, I would go by Trixie or Trix, and I think it's a very nice name.

I don’t know why? But I find this name in contributing a fresh coat of paint to the genuine classic known as
Beatrice. I think that if anybody would like something that appears somewhat “bohemian”, but also retains a sense of grace and charm, then by all means select this name and see it age gracefully with every passing year.

LOVE IT. It's really posh, in a good way, classy and sophisticated.

Silly rabbit, Beatrix are for kids.

Love it, it's still not too common right now, it's cool. I never met another Beatrix.

A beautiful sounding name! I love the meaning, too.

The "x" (very popular nowadays) makes the name much livelier to say, like the above comment, and makes it look very fresh, despite being a true classic. It's a crime that it is not used too much today, possibly because of the nickname "Trixie". If you want to use Beatrix, use Beatrix as is!

Love this name! Classic, feminine and strong, with the "x" making the name so much livelier and fun to say. I fully intend to use this for my future daughter- just hope it doesn't end up becoming super popular before I get to use it :)

So the first thing you do on this website is look up your own name :)
I didn't like my name when I was little, now at the age of 25 I came to terms with it. I like the name in itself (not the English pronunciation), but I cringe when they call me Beatrix, because to me it's too princessy and stern at the same time. I also hate Bea because I consider it the short form of Beáta, which is not my name. Plus in English it sounds like "bee".
Its diminutive in Hungary is Trixi (without an "e"). I like it because it's unusual and the x makes it a little sci-fi. A friend of mine calls me Trix, that's kinda cool too. Unfortunately it's a stripper or a dog name in pop culture. Oh well :)
It doesn't go with long last names.

The name Beatrix was given to 141 baby girls born in the US in 2012 :)

I love this name! It feels like a fairy-tale name, along with Amelia. Those two names both sound so gorgeous and story-like! I also much prefer this spelling and pronunciation to Beatrice, as Beatrix sounds more original and unique than Beatrice.

I really like this name, but it is very impractical when you put it with a last name - the x makes everything sound just wrong. Whenever choosing a name, always put it with your last name. After all, it's a package you are giving your child.

One of the worst names ever! It reminds me of a mean, overgrown librarian with a wooden ruler.

Beatrice is so ugly - looks like "beat rice". Beatrix is better, but still really battle-axey and dowdy.

As the years have rolled on, this name has become more and more appealing to me. It's strong yet elegant. My one concern is a nickname--I don't really like Bee or Bea, and Trixie just sounds silly and childish.

The think this is much prettier and less old-fashioned than Beatrice (in English usage, anyway), with just as much history behind it.
I don't think a nickname is that necessary; it's not long or stuffy- sounding.

Beatrix is a name nerd favourite. X is a hot letter, too, so I expect to see this name get just a little more popular in coming years.
The nickname Bix is a great way to avoid Trixie.

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.

Great name!

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.

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

Classy and lovely!

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

Beatrix is a really cute name!

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

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

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

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

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

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