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

Oh, and there was a boy in my class called Willie Dick. Why he didn't insist people call him William or Billy is beyond me.

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