Middle name for Beatrice

[Anonymous]

Hi all! I'm pregnant with my second child and my husband and I have always wanted to name one of our children Beatrice (nn Bea). We're torn on what to use for a middle name, though. Originally we had thought of using the name Jule (pronounced jewel, after his grandmother), but the initials BJ have always made me wary. Our last name starts with a C, two syllables and is fairly common. I like classic names and we're having trouble finding a middle name that goes well with Beatrice. Any ideas?

I think one syllable and traditional. I also thought Rose, but Anne, Lynn, etc.

I wouldn't overthink the initials. She'll more likely use first/last initials BC or all three BJC. I think Beatrice Jule Carson* would be lovely. I was going to suggest Jane, but she'd have the same initials.

Ann? Beatrice Ann Carson.*


*using common two-syllable last name starting with C as an example

OP here. I also thought of Jane, but same issue (oh well!). I love Ann, actually.

I'm OP. Our first born daughter's first and middle names are both after her grandmothers, so she already took those names!

I also like Ann (or Anne). My husband likes the idea of using the middle name "Dot" after his grandmother, but we're both on the fence about that one.

Dot is very cute, but when you read it out, it sounds like a website.

OP here. EXACTLY!! That's why I keep shying away from it (and also the reason my husband thinks it's so funny)
