Names that give a similar impression?

I remain undecided on whether or not I like Beatrice as a formal name, but I adore the impression I get from Bea (Bee or Bee-uh) on its own. Trying to pinpoint what I like about Bea, I think maybe it feels a tad bit off-beat without feeling try-hard? It feels sunny and cheerful (with an equally cheerful meaning that would be wonderful to bestow upon a child), and I could see it on a tomboy toddler wearing a muddy dress or a prim and proper girl, an adolescent, a young woman, an elder lady. Feels like it would just be a joyful and multi-faceted name, not overly popular, but not trying super hard to look uNiQuE. I am STRUGGLING to find more names that give the same impression for me. Any suggestions?

I really love Bea on its own! it’s gorgeous and I agree would suit all ages. You could also do Bee short for Phoebe. Similar vibe… Dot/Dottie Harriet/Hattie Etta Iris Margot Cleo Clementine Enid Ada Sylvie Vera Pippa Lola

Beau Mae Belle Elle Faye Mia

Penelope? Could be Pea as a nickname, or Penny

Raye? Or Raya? Rue Lou Prue Betty Holly Lottie Nancy Nina Nell Clara Or other names which could have a nickname Bea (though I think Bea is alright as a standalone name too): Beatrix Belinda Betty Bethany? Betty Betsy

Pip, Clem, Elli, Lily, Lilli, Bonnie, Nelle, Nella

Beah could make it more of a “full” and be pronounced Bee-uh with the nickname Bee

i love both Bea and Birdie as nicknames for Beatrice. another option is Beatrix as a full name for Bea, or even Bea as a full name on its own.
