Hello ladies,We're not really traditional in our name choices, but want something one-syllable because in Australia EVERYTHING gets shortened. Our DS is Cruz Alexander (hispanic last name) and DH is thinking Beau River for this one.Too "out there"? I'm not sure..Is it common in the States? Have you heard it before?Thanks:)

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

I do love Cruz though.
It's not unheard of but not common in the states. I actually really like Beau and I think it goes well with Cruz. I think Beau River is just ok, it sounds too much like a place name. I might pick a more traditional mn, like Alexander for it. What about.

I love Beau (It's on my boy name list too). River is NMS but it's a middle name so it's not that big of a deal.
I like single syllable first names for boys, they just sound "strong" to me.
I totally get what you are saying about shortening names in Aus. My Sister lives in Victoria, her name is Leah, somehow everyone calls her Leer, it drivers her CRAZY. Her husband is Hamish and we all call him Haims.

River is a guilty pleasure name of mine and I'm also very fond of it. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about them together though....
I was in love with a Beau in elementary school
