Is it a real name?

Bo. As in the face of.

As usual, if you can't pronounce it please don't call your child it.

I assume/hope it is someone else's name that you have seen.

Actually I read that as Beaux.

Beuax - no idea!

Shouldn't it be Beaux?
I prefer Beau or Bo, lovely name imo

I think it would be pronounced Bo if it was 'Beau'.

I have never heard that name - where is it from?

I actually know two of these but one spelt Beau and the other spelt Bo.

I think Ulrika Johnson has a little girl called Bo and Baby spice (whatsername?) has a little boy called Beau.

The one's I know are very very cute which is why I like it - name association and all that

My DD's middle name is Boo, given because we'd nicknamed the bump Boo and had grown strangely attached!
Have see Bo and Beau, just not Beuax

Bow-ax. Sorry but that's what springs to mind

Beaux doesn't make sense. Beau means beauty, but Beaux means beauties. And it's spelt wrong.

Very odd!

And actually, if you're in Gone With The Wind, you'd pronounce it 'bucks'.

If they're not just misspelling Beau then I'd really like to know how they do pronounce Beuax. Can't imagine!
