[Opinions] Re: Beau
in reply to a message by Lily
I like the name (despite of how it reminds me of annoying Dutch television presenter Beau van Erven Dorens), but I generally prefer Bo - even though it's unisex in my country and I actually know a female Bo in real life. Bo seems a little bit more manly, as it is more abrupt and no-nonsense. It also helps that it makes me think of Bo Brady from "Days of Our Lives", heh heh (though his full name is Beauregard Aurelius Brady). ;)
Speaking of Beauregard... it's quite a mouthful, but so distinguished! I think I would like Beau even more if it were short for Beauregard. :)

Reading Beauregard right now I'm sort of loving it :) It's not quite as stuffy and antiquated as Bartholomew but has the same aristocratic feel. Yep, adding Beauregard to my PNL right now
The problem with me is, I could never use Beauregard, lest it be misconstrued to be in honor of Pierre Beauregard, which would make my bluebelly Yankee Civil War veteran great-great-grandfather roll over in his grave. I just recently found out that he had a brother who also served in the Civil War and was killed at Gettysburg. My great-great-grandfather survived the war.
