Flow?

[Tava]

I know the flow is not the best but I LOVE Beau!

Is Beau Owens acceptable? Thoughts or suggestions?

Beau Owens - Bo O?
No.

I'm afraid I don't think it works, it's hard to say.

Sounds the same as Joe Owens which wouldn’t get a second thought. It’s fine.

From the thread title I thought you wanted opinions on Flow as a name!

I think Beau Owens is a bit too much of a mouthful personally - but may be being influenced by the fact that I'm not especially keen on Beau.

Really difficult to say. I too thought you were considering Flow as a name.

No I don't think it goes sorry!

As the initials are B.O.
Nope.
Beau is nice, your surname needs changing to flow with that name.
Sorry.

B.O initials make one disregard a name??? Why?? Some of the justifications for rejecting names here just baffles me!

Beau Owens works just fine. If you like the name Beau, use it! It’s a great name 😊

B.O initials in the playground would be pounced on in seconds by some wee asshole.
That would not make you disregard a name?
A friend managed to gift her son with the initials C.O.C . He and her son regret her choice and have done for most of his school life.

If the initials are a problem, give them a middle name.

Why is your thread called flow?

Initials do matter at times. Know someone called Thomas O Toole and got stuck with nickname Tot in school.
But Beau Owens is not great as the two names are very similiar and difficult to say together.

There were three Beaus/Bos in my baby group of 10. Don't do it!

I'm not a keen on Beau as a name at the best of times, but the combination with Owens really doesn't work. Too many 'oh's, and it might get picked up both as BO and also as 'bow ow' like a dog barking.

It sounds like Bowens. Boeing 747.

I don't think I would OP.

I'm in the US? Is "flow" not a word here? Haha. As is, do this name flow?

As far as the B.O. initials go, I too at one point was like "no way" but then someone said to me "if it's good enough for Barack Obama, it's good enough for your kid". I laughed and agreed.

Thanks for the input, everyone!

That first sentence was not meant as a question. Sorry, just woke up!

And rereading I see more typos. I'll just take seat now.

I always liked Beau, until I met lots of people who refer to body odour as in B.O. simply as bo.

Totally ruined Beau for me.

Sorry but it doesn't flow together at all. If you say it fast it sounds like bones, or maybe that's just my accent

Oh, no. It is not the initials that are a problem for me. It is the flow of the names. I wasnt sure if they worked. That's why I titled it "flow?".

Why must I like only names that dont work with my last name? Or names that rhyme with my son's name? Naming humans is hard.

Flow is a word here but usually posters put the name in the title they want critiquing.

Lol! I guess I was trying to emphasize I wanted opinions on the flow not the name, necessarily. Fail! I appreciate all the feed back though!

I thought it was quite obvious why the title was 'flow'.

I don't think it does go too well, it's quite hard to say. Sorry OP.
