Trixie

DH loves the name Trixie for Beatrice. He hates the spelling Beatrix.

Any thoughts about this nickname or name associations?

Trixie is fine as a nickname for Beatrice. It's not my favorite name, but it's cute for a little girl. Beatrice is a fine name. I know a couple, both adults and children. Most go by Bea.

As for associations, I think of Beatrice Potter. Trixie does seem like a name you might give your dog.

I work with a woman named Beatrice. She's German. Nobody calls her Trixie.

Beatrice/Beatrix is popular in my hip, grandma/grandpa name loving crowd. Trixie is unexpected, but cute for a little kid. Go for it!

It's the little girl from Knuffle Bunny! Cute name.

We have Beatrix and thought she would be Trixie but it didn't work for us. It sound a bit like a dog's name, but we still think it's cute and acceptable. I wouldn't think of it as a nickname for Beatrice though.

Tricia is a little dogname / strippery to me. But Beatrice is lovely

Oh sorry, typed Trixie and autocorrect must have weighed in (just did it again and it again switched to Tricia). I meant Trixie.

Love Trixie! When I was a little girl I read a series about a girl detective named Trixie Belden.

I like that it's unique and no one else will have the name but it's not too "out there."

What? No. It sounds like a dog name. This is as bad as the person who posted Kyzer a little while ago.

Trixie Belden! Best book series ever. Love it. I wouldn't worry about having an x in Beatrice to match Trixie.

PP, you're in for a treat when you read the picture books about Knuffle Bunny. Be warned that the last one might make you cry, though. Not your child; just you.

+1 on it sounding like a stripper name

I like it, it makes me think of the cute one in Call the Midwife.
