None of them really, India is very middle class aspirational and will date horrible (IMO), Kitty is a nickname, could you go with Katherine?

Beatrix :)

Bea as a nickname is very sweet for a little girl (and family as she grows up). And Beatrix in full could be a creative type or high flying professional. Nice a strong name whilst being feminine and unique.

India pretentious, Beatrix nice (nn Bea suitable for any age), Kitty... are you gestating a cat?

India would be my choice. Kitty is also nice. I'm not fond of Beatrix.

Oh thanks for the feedback so far. Well if I went with Beatrix we would definitely use nn Bea. If we went with Kitty it would be just that on the birth cert!

India or Beatrix.
Kitty v sweet for little girl but not so sure it will wear well through to adulthood.

If anything of the three go for the spelling Beatrice? ending in 'ix' makes me think of 'Dominatrix' Hmm

Not India as that's the name of one of Katie Hopkins' daughters.

Beatrix. Beautiful name. Kitty is nice too. India is dreadful. Sorry.

So Beatrix seems to be getting the vote so far....aaahhh, so difficult to decide!

Beatrix for me too.

But if you're disappointed we're saying Beatrix and not one of the others then there you have it: you don't like Beatrix enough. Cross it off your list.

Equally, if you wish we were saying Kitty or India, you know that's your favourite.

Beatrix (but I'm planning to call baby if its a girl Beatrice so that's my sort of name). Then Kitty which I also like. I really don't like India.

I already have a Beatrice and I am considering Kitty [Katherine] for DC2 due in 6 weeks.

I like all three. Particularly Beatrix with the nickname Trixie.
