I must say I like Beatrice more as a whole, but I like the name Beatrix as well. Beatrice is a 10, Beatrix a solid 9. I remember liking Beatrice way back when it still had the apparently incorrect meaning of "she brings happiness" attached to it everywhere. And I loved the idea of the nickname Bea. Just too cute.

I think a young person would appreciate being called Beatrix more than Beatrice, however. Beatrice is totally an older person's choice. I mean, you get an X in your name, which is something every teenager aspires to, right? ;)

I like Beatrice Sylvia. Generally I don't like similar ending-and-beginning names, but these two flow into each other so prettily.
