We have a William. Can we have a Beatrice or ....

[ButterMelonCauliflower]

... is it too much royalty? That's about it. DD due in a couple of weeks

[Bowlersarm]

Yes, you can.

[PandasRock]

I have one of those names, and considered the other (but eventually went with another -Royal! - name)

Both good, solid names, imo.

[strawberrypenguin]

I think it's fine, the royal connection doesn't immediately spring to mind for me it's not like the two names are often mentioned as a (royal) pair.

[OhMyArsingGodInABox]

Well I've ended up with William and Harry (he was meant to be Edward but didn't look like an Edward and my baby brain didn't make the royal connection until six weeks later...)

No one has batted an eyelid, at least not to my face.

[thedicewoman]

I have these two!

[DrRanjLovesPoo]

I never think of Princess Beatrice when I hear that name. William and Harry or William and Kate might be different.

[ButterMelonCauliflower]

Thanks for replies, I think we might go for it, as long as she looks like one...
dicewoman we must have similar taste. Got any more names I can steal?!

[Montsti]

Yes you can and I love both names ??

[ButterMelonCauliflower]

Other possibilities are Claudia or Stella. But I think Beatrice is nicest. Now just have to convince DH!

[halfdoneharris]

Easy one. Both lovely names and it wouldn't occur to me that they were the names of royal cousins.
Use it.

[Rockinghorse123]

I have a William and I love Beatrice. Haddnt ever made the royal connection! I really don't think anyone would give it a second thought!

[namechange74]

Have one and NEVER consider the Royals
