I pronounce both Beatrice and Beatrix with 3 syllables...that is where I got Bea=Leah from.

My Grandmother was a Beatrice and everyone called her Bea...aka "bee." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826933 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:05:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 826933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know to pronounce it "Bee" but when I look at it, I see "Beah" (like Leah). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826839 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:45:51 +0000 MsInformation 826839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say "Bee." Interestingly, DD's name is Beatrix and when we say her full name, we do say "Bee-a-trix," three syllables (though not dwelling on the "a" sound too much; DH is kind of OCD about this). But we call her Bee for short sometimes, no "a" sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826827 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:42:56 +0000 autumnlove 826827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826802 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:38:04 +0000 loveisstrange 826802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee, like Bea Arthur. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826743 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:21:48 +0000 plantains 826743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say Bee, although if thay are from Spain then I say Bay-ah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826740 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:20:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 826740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826733 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:17:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 826733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826693 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:09:13 +0000 Navy_Mommy 826693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have pronounced it Bay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826683 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:07:09 +0000 dolphin 826683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826667 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:02:31 +0000 sorrycharlie 826667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: ha I thought the same thing as you.

DH and I were discussing names for a future LO and we both like Beatrice...but I have always pronounced Bea as rhyming with Leah when I saw it in books. Recently I was watching a show and saw the person was named Bea (short for Beatrice) and it was said as Bee. Got me thinking. I think I would still say it the same though...maybe add an h to make it easier? That is what DH suggested. </p> <p>@MrsTiz: @Crumbs: @swurlygurl: Never considered that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826483 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:12:33 +0000 swurlygurl 826483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pronounce it Bay - I knew someone in HS with that name, and that's how they pronounced it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826482 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:12:29 +0000 rachiecakes 826482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"bee" like in Beatrice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826479 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:11:43 +0000 Caly 826479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Bee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826478 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:11:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 826478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bay-ah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826477 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:11:02 +0000 Ra 826477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also pronounce it "bee." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826471 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:09:47 +0000 MrsTiz 826471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say either Bee or Bay.</p> <p>Bay only because I watch Once Upon a Time and the boys nickname is Bae/Bea and it's said like Bay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826469 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:09:39 +0000 Pepper 826469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pronounce it "Bee" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-bea#post-826464 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:06:50 +0000 cheesetomywhine 826464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you say it like Bee or rhyme with Leah.
