Bo as a nickname

Not quite a baby (my baby) but my dog is called Bo.

I regret the name and would like an elongated version with Bo/Beau as a nickname.

Any ideas please?!

I remember reading that you shouldn't call a dog Bo/Beau as they confuse it with 'no'.

you could call him

Beauregard
Beaujolais
Beaucoup
Beau Geste - like the swashbuckingly character from the book of the same name
BopeityBope.

Bojangles? And then you could transition to just 'Jangles'

Funnily enough, my nickname at school was Bo!

Oh yes, Bisto would be cute for a lil brown dog.

Firebird83 · 01/12/2022 13:36

DS has a friend called Bowen “Bo”, I think that would work quite well for a dog!

This belongs in the dog section.

Call it Bingo.

Rauha · 01/12/2022 22:37

Definitely think it should be Mr Bojangles

soulinablackberrypie · 06/12/2022 22:01

My first thought was Boris but I don't think I'd want to shout that name in the street nowadays!

Bodhi?
