Help[Opinions] Re: Beatrix
in reply to a message by Amandine
I'm going to date myself with this, but Kill Bill is still the first thing I think of when I see this name. I think that character was the most impactful Beatrix influence on me, since I hadn't seen it much anywhere else, or since. I somehow managed to have an entire childhood without encountering Beatrix Potter.
It's not a bad character, at least! But I still cringe a bit on reflex because Beatrix feels like it's trying so hard to be cool and I get secondhand embarrassment. It's so self-aware. It would make a great stage name or pen name for someone who wants to put on a persona to say "look at me and how special and different I am".
That's not to say I don't like it, I do think it's a neat name. I just prefer Beatrice because it's warmer and more beautiful to my ear.
