Yes, that’s very Golden Girls!

Beatrice May?

OP again. I really like the shorter names too, like Beatrice May or Beatrice Anne. Beatrice Jule (both family names) was a front runner but I can't get over the BJ initials.

Gemma/Gema means gem.

+1. Louise goes with nearly every first name as a middle, IMO.

My sib's middle name is spelled Laine and I've always loved it.

I like Lane, Laine, Tate...or Elizabeth, to be honest, even though some have said avoid three syllables.

What’s your name OP? Your maiden name? Of course, you won’t share with us....but I love the idea of two girls, both bearing names honoring their grandmothers, and aunts. Why not also honor their mom?

OP here. My daughter’s first name is my grandmother’s name, and is also my middle name, so we kind of did that already. But I love the idea

And I think you said you're DD1's middle name is also a family name? Honestly, it would feel a little weird to me to double down with family names for my first child but then to have no family names for my second. Little Bea is going to wonder why she wasn't named for someone.

I'd go with a family name for Beatrice's middle name. I don't care for Dot or Dorothy, but in your shoes I'd do that rather than a random middle name.

OP here, I agree! it's why I'm now leaning toward Beatrice Anne or Beatrice Dot/Dorothy -- other family names we could use include Tess, Rosalyn and Kathryn. I guess I could also always make Beatrice the middle name, or shortened to Bea, but I love it as a first name.

Since Rosalyn is a family name, you could also go for Beatrice Rose, Beatrice Rosa, or Beatrice Lyn.
