OP, your name change mean none of your replies are highlighted as being the OP, to anyone who doesn’t want to sit and read every reply, it looks like you haven’t replied on the thread.

I haven't name changed though so not sure why that's happened.

Op, does the mother of little Beaux have a name that begins with 'L'??

I have only heard of one baby with this name. I quite like it.

I know another couple that named their baby boy Rogue.

Relative through marriage niece, and someone's daughter's child - beginning of every urban legend LOL

Presumably your ‘bow’ can be as in ‘to tie’ or ‘to take a’. So you say them both the same??

Boux=madness

Sorry forgot about "to take a bow". I say beau the same as to tie a bow.

How does the family pronounce Boux?
Bough of a tree
Bow and arrow
Boo hoo said the owl
Boooks - books with a long vowell accent.
Box and dice
Boux rhymes with soaks

HuggingtheHRT · 22/04/2023 09:05

That kid better grace himself for a lifetime of being called 'Borx'

Sharingcyan · 23/04/2023 20:53

Does little Boux have an (slightly) older brother? I think I know them in real life.

I know another child (girl) called Boux and she’s pronounced ‘Boo’.
