[Opinions] Re: Less intuitive nicknames
'Trice for Beatrice. I find it strange they don't just use the MUCH more intuitive nickname Bea...

They probably called her name in anger. Separating the syllables and emphasising the last one would give bee-ah-TRICE! As the mother of a Beatrice, I can confirm that it works.
Maybe they don't like Bea.
