Recently dealt with a woman at work who had called her daughter Beau - all very well but unfortunately this was teamed with the surname Lock.
I wonder sometimes if people think through how names will work together.

A girl in my class was called Heidi Lowe (very unfortunate as at the time, in the 80s, there was a very popular comedy set at a holiday camp....)
Sorry, Heidi, if you're on MN

I think Beau is a lovely name for a little girl Themissinglink

I once worked with a man called Wayne King. At first I thought it was a wind up - but it was true!

My brothers old headmaster was called Richard Head. Also went to school with a Nathan Latham

Know a little baby called Albie Back, which has always tickled me

TheMissingLink · 12/10/2009 19:55

Bo is an okay name for a little girl, Beau is masculine. It means handsome. Tis like calling a girl Andrew instead of Andrea.
