'Beau' by definition is a boy's name. It would be Belle for a girl.

Dana, Vanya, Denise, Noah/Noa, Robin, Andrea, Kim, Jocelyn, Joyce, Floris (It's a boy's name but it could also work for a girl imo), Alex, Morgan, Blair, Jules, Andy, Lee, Ari, Nico.

I have a girl Alex.

Weirdly though, whenever I hear the name Alex anywhere else I always assume it will be a boy Hmm

The only one I quite like is Alex.

bridgetreilly · 13/09/2018 11:51

I don't mind nicknames, but I basically think that names which are boys' names should be used for boys and names which are girls' names should be used for girls.

My favourite boy-ish nicknames are:
Winifred (Freddy)
Charlotte (Charlie)
Georgia (Georgie)
Alexandra (Alex)
Samantha (Sam)
Belinda (Billie)
Andrea (Andy)
