think about it 11 year old starting senior school poor thing do you really want to put him through all the crap he will get because you gave him a stupid name!

As a nickname fine. But not a proper name.

Fine for a baby

Tragic for a man

Boo Radley I believe.

As in Boo Radley? I think nay...I would assume it was a nickname.

The teacher will look atthe register at the beginning of term and have him down as a little oik immediately.

To Kill A Mockingbird - local bogeyman (though turned out nice).

Sounds too 1950s American for me.

Part of me likes it but.....no.

Kids sneak up and go 'boo'.

MadameCastafiore · 14/01/2009 10:40

No to Bo, Beau or Boo - it is hideous!

HelenBurns · 14/01/2009 10:39

belgo · 14/01/2009 10:39

Fimbo · 14/01/2009 10:38

Nope.

It's the little girl's name in Monsters Inc

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/01/2009 10:38

Realistically - nay
