What would you think if someone named their baby Isabeau?

Not a fan, much prefer Isabelle.

Since Beau is all male to me, I don’t like it.

What a lovely combination of medieval history with modern trends! and I'd be a little disappointed it wasn't spelled with a Y.
I've always liked that Sab sound in girl names. I thought Isabeau was gorgeous when I was a kid and Sabine, too. There's something soft and compelling about it. I used to think Isobel was mysterious and a little tragic because of the Dido song. And then there's Sabrina: same kind of vibe and magical.

I would think their parents liked the movie LadyHawke, or kinda liked Isabelle but wanted to be unique. I think the sound of the name is fine but it’s a confusing name for a girl.

I don't really like the Beau part

I'd be relieved that the world had been spared yet another Isabella! I like Isabeau; I've only ever met one, and she was DH's tennis partner for a while. Good woman; good name; and mediaeval rather than masculine, for what that's worth.

I like it, it grew on me after years of watching Lost Girl, along with the nickname Beau. The nickname additionally has grown on me from Lost Girl and Critical Role campaign 2 (though this Beau is a Beauregard).
So, basically, I like it lol It's not an "out-there" name. The similarity to the popular Isabelle I think makes it even more usable.

I really dislike the beau part, it's almost a mash-up of Isaiah & Beau

I'd be delighted and impressed. I love the name.

I like it.
I like the full name and I like Bo & Issey for potential nicknames.

It's not bad per se, but it feels kind of pretentious? It gives me "lives in a country manor with two dozen servants and refuses to wear the same gown twice" vibes.
