Middle names for baby boy Beau

[Susieloo]

Baby being born by planned section on Tuesday and if it's a boy we are going to be calling him Beau but I'm really struggling with middle names, we are using both mine and bf's surnames so perhaps we shouldn't have a middle name at all? Help me!!!!!!

no-one "needs" a middle name but it does give him another option if he doesn't like Beau. Is there any family member you'f like to honour?

Otherwise is it something plain (James) or something more quirky (Bear) that you are looking for?

good luck for Tuesday btw - I had on Emergency section and one planned - the planned one was a much nicer experience than the first :)

Do please give him a middle name- prhaps a more ordinary one? Just in case he's not an unusual name type person?

Jangles?

Names with two syllables might be good as Beau has just one, but it depends on how many syllables in the two surnames too really.

I would suggest Gus, but I think you want actual help & advice, in which case I would go with either honouring a family member or your second choice first name.
Personally, I couldn't imagine giving dc a name "because someone on MN said it sounded nice"

He he all I can think about sometimes is diggity as in Beau diggity which sounds like no diggity the 90's song featuring dr dre!!! I'm alarmingly drawn to jolais too, hormones?? My dad has already decided he hates it and announced he shall be calling him Bob instead. Agree re perhaps a more normal name for a middle in case he doesn't like it

Harry? Beau Harry? Harribo, get it?

I love the name, and I think that a strong classic middle name would be lovely. I love David, Beau David sounds very nice. Beau Benedict? Beau Matthew?

The two Beaus I've known have been Beau Jenson and Beau Jupiter. Some people clearly aren't bothered by certain initial combinations! Definitely agree with the comments above about having a less unusual middle name as a fall-back.

Thank you VolAuVent, you've reminded me that we had talked about Harrison as a first name

(Beau Benedict sounds very nice, so long as your surname is not Gunn.)

Good point re initials!! Hadn't thought about that at all, very glad I posted and asked now.

All joking aoart, it's a lovely name and Beau Benedict is very nice indeed. If Beau is not for him he can just be Ben.

(although how many people decide they are too straight/boring for their own name? )

HerMajesty

HerMajesty George (Gideon) Osborne, that's who. Too straight laced & dull to be a Gideon.

I quite like the sound of Beau Alexander but might be a bit long if you are having 2 surnames.

I like Beau Alexander too. It sounds good and strong.

Thank you everyone, agree re Beau Alexander it is a very strong name and I like how it sounds

Good luck for Tuesday, Susieloo.
Beau Alexander is a lovely name.

Thank you, only four more nights of raging insomnia to get through and then I get to find out the true meaning of no sleep

Den?
