I say stick to your guns. Didnt you say DH chose ellis's name and you was not sure at first but that it grew on you. Maybe the name Beau will grow on him. I dont know why not many people on here seem to like the name. Cant wait to find out what you pick in the end,dont forget to let us know.

I know a guy called Beau. I like it (for either sex).

Thanks scooby and valpal!I'm going to stick to my guns!!
I know that most people on mn and in real life think it's an awful name but I still love it.
Will let you know if I get my own way(most probably not though)!!!

I would remind him that he was the one who chose DS1's name and tell him fair is fair.

Chester, Archer, Kelly and Jesse are

Can never decide if I like it or not.

Really dislike it when used for a girl though!

It's my cousin's name, but they're from Edmonton, so it works.

What's wrong with Edmonton?
