Beatrice is the 833rd most common baby name.

It's not *common*, but it's definitely not incredibly rare. Though it's a rather old-fashioned name; in 1910 it was 38th most common.

Compare "Alice", which was 11th in 1880 but is 326th today.

Alice is more well known, in terms of association, than Beatrice.

Alice is a well-known name and is closely related to the wonders of... well, Wonderland. And everything that spun off of it as well.

Beatrice? Who's that? Wait, there's MORE than one Divine Comedy story?!!

Well I wouldn't name her after the Touhou either, I just think it's a nice name and I'm loathe to put Brandy, Jessica or other vile name on my child. Plus it sounds prim and proper, which is how I'd want my kid to turn out. Although my sister has an uncommon name that's not ugly and hates it.
