I really like Bella at the moment, and I wanted to have something a bit different and I thought of Bellatrice (not Bellatrix -- idk if Bellatrice exists and I made it up or already existing)

What do you think of this name? Whats possible nn? it can definitely go crazy.
If any of you know the meaning, please let me know in the reply.

I think it's interesting/cool pronounced in Italian. If it rhymes is with fleece, it's okay, but I don't like it much. I'd hear it as similar to Patrice or Bella but frillier.

It seems like the meaning would be the same as Bellatrix. It follows the trix / trice pattern (Beatrix, Salvatrix, Beatrice, Salvatrice) of being a different form.

It sounds prissy and will invariably be confused with Bellatrix. Bella, Bell(e), Tris, and Trixie could be possible nicknames.

Bellatrice would have the same meaning as Bellatrix, I think, since it's just a variation of that name - female warrior.

I think it's fun in a twisted Victorian kind of way, which I enjoy. People would still think of Bellatrix, I believe.

Bella, Bell, Tris, could be possible nicknames.

It's ok, I prefer Bellatrix, Bellamy, Bellarose or Belladonna

It is a real name, not really my cup of tea I think I prefer Bellatrix regardless to the Harry Potter association. Bellatrice makes me think of a brand of lettuce in a similar fashion that Letitia does. I mean that's not the worst thing to be associated with and I don't think someone else would draw that parallel besides me but that is what comes to mind.
