HelpRe: Bo and Beau
in reply to a message by Bear
First off, I much prefer Bo. Beau is too much of a word...it means "beautiful" in French. I have an issue with any name that is an everyday word in another language, especially that word. That being said, I kind of like Belle as a middle name haha.
I guess Bo is kind of cute. A bit silly and cutesy, but on the right person it would work. I'd prefer it as a nn, although the only full name I can think of right now off the top of my head is Bogart, which I don't like.

Mirsada's dh wants to name a son Boaz, nn Bo. Would that work better for you, in theory? blaaaarg suggested Robert as a formal name, with Bo instead of Bob as a nn.
I used to think of Bo as silly and cutesy until I found out it's a real name in Swedish and danish. Who knew? :-)
Thanks for the feedback. It's all helpful.

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about Boaz. I'm hearing the word "ass" when I say it, even though I know it's not pronounced like that. Maybe because my mom sometimes pronounces "ass" as "azz" when she doesn't want to swear :P That's more of a personal issue though than an issue other people would have to worry about it haha. Bo as a nn for Robert seems a bit far-fetched to me.

It appeared to me in a dream about a year ago and now it seems the most natural thing in the world. *shrug*
