I think Beau is way too sugarsweet. Bo is a common name here in Sweden, but it's not popular right now. People named Bo are usually called Bosse. I think it's a typical "dad's generation" name.

Interesting. How is Bosse pronounced? Is the "o" a long one, as in Bo, or does it become more like an "ah" sound? Is the final "e" pronounced, and if so, how? Like an "uh," an "eh," an "ee," or some other way.

Sorry for the pickiness. I just find it fascinating. Thanks for the feedback. So helpful. :-)

I think the closest you get in English is like the vowel in "book" for the o, and like in "set" for the e. (Also, Bo is "Boo" here, not "Bow", just so you know. ;))

Interesting. Bo is "boo." Too cute. Thanks, for all the help!
