baby at work

[flea]

Born Tuesday, to coworker Kelsy and her husband who is nameless as far as my awareness of him goes, a girl, Lucy Beatrice.

I love Beatrice. Beatrix, too. And Bee/Bea as a nickname. (Greenchick, it occurs to me that you were thinking of Aunt Bea and Andy Griffith. I was thinking of Aunt Bee and Josephine Tey's Brat Farrar. Clearly I have not lived in the south long enough.)

You are correct -- I was thinking of the Andy Griffith Aunt Bea, and I'll just add that for however long the child lives in North Carolina, so will absolutely everyone else.

"Bix" is lovely for either (any?) sex, and I'd never heard it before except for Beiderbecke. I know one Beatriz who uses "Tiz", which I also love.
