I don't like Sawyer's sound, but I can just tolerate it for a boy. On a girl, however, I think it's hideous. Ugly in sound and supremely unfeminine. How'd Sara and Allison go from the lovely, old, offbeat Levi to the tryndee, surnamey, tradesman, boy's-name-on-a-girl Sawyer? I can only hope that Sara took a page out of Darlene Conner's book and used Sawyer because it's a family surname for her or Allison--then at least the name would have some legitimacy to me.

I like Beau, but probably wouldn't use it since it's the everyday French word for "handsome", and isn't used as a human given name by French-speakers. Still, I think Beau's probably one of the better--if not the best so far imho--Spice Girls baby names.

Hm, I feel bitchy tonight, don't I? ;-)

I also love Sawyer for a girl and I'm happy to see people using it for their daughters. Beau isn't really my style but if I had to use this name I would spell it Bo.

Both are nms

Sawyer reminds me too much of Tom Sawyer so first I think of a surname and then I think of a boy. Plus, the name seems to follow common trends for today so that puts me off a bit too.

Sawyer is more like surname than name. Sorry, I dislike it.

I like the name Sawyer, but I can't see myself using it on a girl.
Beau's cute, but (as I mentioned in the previous post about him) I have a dog named Beau so it's off-limits for me.
