Girls name, what do you think???

[emmared1980]

Hi, I'm on my forth pregnancy and am trying to decide on a girls name. What does everyone think of the name Beau for a girl? This is the only name that me and DH can agree on and I'm just wondering what other peoples opinions are. Thanks.

I love both robin and robyn

But I know a young lad who had a younger sister, and as soon as she was named robyn, his nickname became batman ...

Oh I didn't mean to offend anyone, just we had already decided on the name Jak, as DH grandad is no longer with us. We chose the name Robyn for a girl because his grandad loved Robin red breasts and gave a tree ornament to his 2 daughters before he passed away. What's weird is whenever we are down or things are tough, a little Robin always appears, I am convinced it's DH's grandad telling us everything is going to be okay. I did toy with having Robin as a middle name but a few people have said he might get picked on - Jack Robin.

I can't use the name Bella as my youngest daughter is Gabriella! And my niece's NN is Chloe-Belle! Which is a pain as I really like the name Belle!

Lovely - was on my list.

Bo is the girl version (yes, I believe Ulrika Johnson has one) Beau for a boy.

Bo Peep, obviously. I love Bonita. lovely name.

how very broadminded of them

Message withdrawn

I think Bo short for Boadicea is cool!

Would be particularly cool with a down to earth second name - Boadicea Jones (although perhaps not ethnically correct...)

I think that it is an awful name to saddle a girl with. Do you want her to be picked on from the beginning?

There are loads and loads of unusual and different names to choose from with out giving her a boys name.

Just my opinion

MadameP,Ha ha ha, my surname is Jones . Do you know me??? Bibis I'm open to suggestions for some unusual different girls names.

wow! what a coincidence. No, I am not stalking you

Sorry but really don't like it.

Surprised it's a boys name though cos it means Beautiful.

It's you child though at the end of the day so go with what you like

Haven't you chosen a name yet Emmared? You have had plenty of time and lots of suggestions. Keep going.

I still think Titania is fab. And Tallulah. And Betty. And Eva.

Not going to bother with boys name. Am convinced its another girl.

think beau is horrid, sorry

for a boy or girl

not keen, I'm afraid I don't like what I consider to be trendy or contrived names hence my 3 have traditional names, bob, bill and ben ...........

It's far to girly and poncy to be a boys name. Sounds much better for a girl. Personally i think boyish sounding names are really cool for girls, like Tyler, Danni and Charlie for example.
So go with what you both like or you might regret it, and to be fair not many of us like our names as children anyway so you can't win

Beau is a boy's name. Bo can be for a girl (Bo Derrek) or boy (Bo Diddley).

I think that the boys names that sound cool for a girl are either girly sounding (Lesley) or just cool sounding (Cameron).

If your daughter has aspirations to be a model or actress, and unusual name really helps (there was a model/actress named James). If she has a more mundane job, she might get some strange looks.

Funny names of people I actually know:

Best friend from elementary school, born near Christmas:
Holly Berry Brent. Married a guy named Jared Bush. Now she is Holly Berry Bush

Girl I grew up with: Amy Sherman Succup. Not only is the last name abysmal, she used to wear monogram jumpers all the time. ASS

Beau is a boy's name, surely?

Beau Brummell
Beau Geste

Boy's name. Also a sweet old fashioned term for boyfriend, 'he's her beau'

Thanks again to everyone who has replied to this post. I think we are going to stick with this name for now at least, unless something else comes up which we both like and agree on. Still open to suggestions if anyone has got any nice names. Now it's just a boys names to think of!!! Ahhh

We have Belgian relatives with a little girl called Beau.

Until then I'd have said it was a boys name too

PLease no! Someone come up with something other than Beau for a girl - she will be calling the NSPCC by the time she is 5 for the ridicule she has to face!!

What about Suky?
