HelpWDYT of Beo?
I've had a random thought about this name a few days ago like it suddenly came out of the blue. At first, I thought of Beo as a nickname for Beatrice and could work as a full name. Now, I thought that it could also work for a boy (as a full name) if someone is in love with Beowulf (lol).
Anyway, do you like it as a nickname or a full name?
Is it, in your opinion, masculine, feminine or unisex?
If you think Beo is a nickname, what names could be used for Beo?
If you think it could work as a full name, what middle names would you pair up with Beo?
~I luv London Tipton 'cause she's an idiot like moi~

It sounds like B.O.
Body odor.

That's a bit strange because in the 10 years I've lived in the UK, I've never, ever encountered the term "B.O." meaning "body odour."
Then again, if you pronounced Beo like bay-o or be-o (not bee-o), that association would be shifted away a bit.

Really??!
I'm in the UK and BO is a really common term!
Insane Romantic is also UK-based and she pointed out Beo sounds like BO / body odour.

Well, some people may only hear the term "B.O." one or two times in their lifes (me included) and some like you and insane romantic may hear it quite often.
I'm not sure if it's used most in London and the south and I'm not sure if it's used more commonly than I thought it would be in my part of the country (Cambridgeshire). It, sort of, depends on where you are or it could depend on something else.

I would assume it's a nickname for Beowulf. I don't hear/feel anything feminine about it, pronounced that way; I find "bee-o" unappealing. For me, it does not feel fitting as a full first name.

I don't like it as a firstname, but as a nickname it's ok. Because it reminds me of this speaking bird Beo (also known as myna).

I also think of the bird.

Is it pronounced "bee-oh" or "bay-oh".
Bee-oh is BO as in body odour. Definitely not a good idea. I'm not sure "bay-oh" is any better. It looks more masculine than feminine to me, but I don't like it either way.
