Re: May have found a negative to my favorite name.

Yeah, they're pretty close. But if your last name doesn't have a short o sound like Potter, it might work. I think vowels matter more with rhyming. Would you call her Beatrice or a nn?
I have something similar. One of my favorite girl names ends with -ley, just like my name, Ashley, and dog's name, Oakley. I think that's too much. Sigh...
Yes, it does sound similar but I would still use it. I cannot think of one negative association. Beatrix Potter books are lovely in just about every way?beautifully written, beautiful illustrations, and they are not dumbed-down like a lot of children's literature nowadays.
Also, how long did it take you to make the connection? Chances are it will take most everyone else even longer or, most likely, not at all.
My last name is extremely close to Potter. But it did take me quite awhile to make the connection. I'm not sure if I had ever said the full name together before though.
Thanks everyone for your input.
