It's very nicknamey and doesn't seem like a good formal name for either gender, imo. It's a very soap-opera-ish name to me, too, as there are a couple of long-standing male characters on soaps named Bo (both are nn's, I'm pretty sure). If I did have to choose, I do prefer the Beau spelling, and only for a boy, as Bo is spelled B.O. which stands for "body odor". :-/

BTW, the preacher (Jim) at the church I attended while I was growing up has a son named James Jr. nn Beau. The "Beau/Bo" part came from Jim's nn when he was younger--Jimbo.
