I think Beatrix Potter pronounces it with 2, though I could be wrong about that.

Well it would be two if it was bee-tricks but I don't think that's right.

The answer is however the name was intended to be pronounced.

I have to pick 3 syllables because it's the Umineko compatible pronunciation.

As many as you want there to be, so long as you want there to be three. Or perhaps you are french, in which case there are still three, but what comes out of your mouth is Be A Try.

i'm going to ruin the party by linking wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrix

It is pronounced /bitrks/ in British English[1][2] and the same[3] or /bitrks/ in North American English.[9][4] Another North American English pronunciation however approximates that of most other languages: /betrks/BAY--triks, as shown by US dictionary entries for the former queen of the Netherlands.[5][6][7]

This is one of those tricky things where even just saying the words "bee tricks", assuming you emphasize the word "bee" normally, sort of requires you to make an "uh" sound on the way from making the 'ee' to making the 'tr' sound. there isn't really much of a way around it - the difference is how much you avoid slurring into that 'uh' sound and how you perceive the word.

The real answer is that since it's a name it's pronounced with as many syllables as whoever chose the name wants it to be pronounced with.

It's a latin name and the "correct" pronunciation has three, but that doesn't mean whoever chose the name has to go with the "correct" pronunciation.
