HelpRe: Beau / Beaux
in reply to a message by BBH
How would you pronounce "Beaux"?
Actually the only feminine form of Beau I could envision is Belle... of course it doesn't sound the same at all.

Pretty much the same as Beau unless the next word starts with a vowel and you would pronounce the x as a z sound (le liaison). It's actually a plural form of "beautiful" in French (e.g. "beaux arts"), but I thought it might, as a name, give some distinction from the male name. Actually upon reflection it is rather tawdry.
I'd still opt for Belle.
