[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are at an impasse with names. We have a Louisa, need another girls name. He is Italian heritage, I am Spanish/Scandinavian. I want something out there. He likes [b]Beatrix[/b] and Bernadette, I'm not sold. I love Inez, Paloma, iris etc.

Lucia would be the perfect name but too close to Louisa. Help![/quote]

I don't know if you have any Spanish speaking relatives, but they absolutely will not be able to pronounce Beatrix. Beatriz is a pretty choice--Louisa and Beatriz sounds lovely.

-mom of Hispanic Beatrix, or Bee-trick, according to her grandparents.[/quote]

Beatrice is actually originally of Italian origin (pronounced bay-uh-TREE-cha, she is Dante's muse and his guide through Paradise) so that would work too. Even with the non-italian pronunciation (Bee-uh-tris). Though I do also love the Beatriz spelling.

Also, have you suggested your parents call her Bea (pronounced either bee-uh or bay-uh)? I get why Spanish speakers would be super thrown by -trix, but the first part of the name is phonetic in any Romance language. Though I get that sometimes it's hard to control what your parents do.[/quote]
