I am 8 months pregnant and Beatrix is my first choice name if the baby turns out to be a girl. the name popped into my head seemingly randomly and much to my surprise everyone in my circle loves it. my boyfriend loves your baby tracking software more than anything however, even better than the name Trixie, which is the only name we've been able to agree on after going through about 300 of them so far!

There's a Trixie on there. Everytime, I hear the theme song, I think of your Trixie! Does Trixie watch “Lazytown”? There’s a Trixie on there.

Someone told me the name Trixie is "strong but sweet". This makes sense as it has the strong "tr" and "x" sound but ends with the soft "i" sound. Few of the "y"/"ie" girl names have this characteristic (Mary, Sally, Cindy, Betty, etc). I envision an adult Trixie being a strong, independent, smart, beautiful, assertive woman with a softer side. (and yes, Speed Racer's girlfried was named "Trixie" and she was all of the above, thank you very much.) Trixie means "bringer of joy" and what baby girl hasn't brought more joy to her parents than they ever thought possible? The reasons for the names people give their children are numerous and varied and I think of my reasons everytime I pick up my beautiful newborn baby girl and whisper, "hello Trixie" in her ear.

Isn't Trixie the name of Speed Racers Girlfriend? Have you ever watched that Cartoon?

I figured once he was out and named, people could mutter behind our backs if they wanted, but only my mother-in-law would ever complain to our faces. :) Even without outside feedback, we had some hilarious conversations between ourselves over what would fly and what wouldn't. One of the names I suggested was Keiran (though I wanted to spell it Kieran), which is Irish/Celtic; my husband vetoed it vehemently because he thought people would think our son was named Karen. In the end, we went with a name my husband suggested (Austin, after the bionic man) and the spelling I wanted (Austen, after Jane).

Fact is, even with all the rubbish other people come up with i have always liked my name- its other people's problem, not mine!! So don't stress about what your children will think- i know for a fact i wouldn't change my name, its who i am! Also, I am currently 8 months pregnant and have also been playing the name game- as my partner is chilean we wanted to go spanish names. Carlos is a family tradition as the first name, and i love Deigo for a second name- but the issues other people have! I have even fallen out with a friend because of it- she told me that if i insisted on calling my child Carlos Deigo, she would not use it, and instead told me she'd call him Jack. I don't know whether this is just and australian thing, but i think people need to just relax and realise that the parents are the ones who'll be using the name the most, so it's important its a word they like, not everybody else!! ;) P.s. i am also a big fan of beatrix- mostly because i like the letter x! :) well, try growing up with Peta as a girls name- people constantly asking you why u have a boy’s name!!

I thought this was silly, so we started telling people what we are naming our little girl. Clearly though, the reason is not that the baby will be harmed, it's that people will offer unwanted opinions. My father practically spat when I told him what we were thinking of for a middle name. And HE gave ME the middle names Giorgiana and Phippen (yes- two of them), so is he really qualified to pass judgment?
