Re: Does Beau have a different meaning in Dutch?
in reply to a message by RuralRuna
No, I don't think so. German and Dutch are very similar and it doesn't really match the Dutch language pattern from what I am aware. I can't tell you 100%, though.
The Dutch also use Puck for girls. So I think they are just very open and they often like nickname-ish, short names judging from their top 100. And Beau matches this because even though it is not a nickname (it comes directly from the word, but it can also be a nickname for Beauregard I guess) it sounds like the nickname Bo.
