Is Beau pretentious?

[CinderellaRach]

What do you think of when you hear the name Beau?Thanks

yes.
And a big mistake if a child is plain, or 13

i think - i hope you don't have a fat ugly kid

it happens

"Peep"

Yes

I thought people would say that

Awful

I like it, wanted it for DS if a girl unfortunately Dh wanted it for DS if a DS and we never agreed.

I know someone who had it for a girl recently
notso.
DH said it's poncey...

I'm from Texas.

It's redneck/hillbilly.

I think it's the oppostie of poncey - really awful name!

great name for a grown up American film star. I don't dislike the name, but unless you are rich and/or famous yourself, I don't think your child would thank you for it.

It's a redneck/hillbilly name.

I don't think it's poncey, Dh said it should be Bo for a girl but that makes me think of Body Odour.
Just realised though it sound quite crap with our surname which begins with O.

Use it for me CinderellaRach

Yes. But if you like it, sod everyone!

Redneck and hillbilly?
Shame that people think it's awful.Is it because it's OTT??

No, it's awful bcause it's redneck and hillbilly.

I think its hideous. It sounds like an explanation of some sort rather than a name. Agree with the other posts. If the child isn't beautiful it just makes it cringe worthy.

How can you lump Beau with Cleetus, I am

It's an old Southern boys name.

There was a tradition among rich white Southerners in the Civil War to give their sons as a forename the surname of the commanding officer under whom their fathers were serving.

Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard had a lot of people fighting for him.

I know a lot of dogs called Beau.

It's a great dog name.

Thats for a boy right?
It's not redneck for a girl is it?

That's because it's not a girl's name.

Belle is a girls' name.

Beau on a girl isn't redneck/hillbilly, it's just ridiculous and naff.

Belle is rubbish ner ner ne ner ner.

And Beau is redneck dog's name.

'Hey, ya'll! Don't mind my dawg, Beau, he don't like people much. Beer's in the cooler. Got the ribs smoking in the pit. Lemme introduce you to my redneck Cajun buddy, Tibideaux. Anyone wanna eat some 'coon? Tidideaux's great with a boy and arrow he shot one right up!'
