I think Beau is great on its own. The longer forms, like Beauregard, sound either stuffy or over the top. Beau is charming.

I ADORE Beau for a boy. And even though I'm pretty much all for a longer full name with a nickname, I really prefer Beau all on it's own. Beauregard and the like are just too...pompous and pretentious, I guess.

I also think that Bo makes a cute girl's nickname for something longer. Although I still prefer Beau on a boy.

I love Beau on its own. One option I haven't seen mentioned here is Beaudry (a surname but I've seen it used as a FN), but all the longer options sound kind of stuffy to me.

First thing I thought of was Beautiful, but that's probably not what you were going for. ;)

I like Beau a lot for a boy. I agree with one of the other comments, that Beau ages well.

In one of my favorite films, Off the Map, the little girl's name is Bo, which I think is cute--sounds feminine and whimsical.

Beaumont

Beaufort

Beauregard

I adore Beau, I think it is extremely handsome and it ages well

I though of Beauregard, too, as did Lovely.
Beau is possible just by itself. Better than Bo, which I see occasionally, and even know one. I think it's kind of sparce.

Beauregard is the first I thought of.

I don't mind it, though it's not really my style.
