Bo

Do you think it can stand alone? Any ideas on a full name with Bo as a nn?
This is for a boy btw.

I have a 9 year old named Beau Harrison and He definitely looks like a Beau.  No other name would have suited him better.

 

Go with the name you like the best.  Everyone has an opinion on what you name your baby.  When I told my FIL about the name I chose, He said.....Kids can be cruel.  I guess meaning that when he got older kids would make fun of his name.......Never has is it happened!  Everyone loves my Beau!

 

So to answer your question, Bo can stand alone.

Not a fan.

I have a Dutch last name so the spelling Bo is more appropriate than the French spelling Beau.

Not a fan but if I had to use it is use Beauregard/beau.

I met an adult Bo last weekend.  I believe he was a junior and Bo was short for Robert.

I really like the name Beau.  It seems complete to me whereas Bo strikes me as a nn.  I think that even with a dutch last name, Beau would look nice.

I'm not a big fan of Beau as a first name.

I do like Bo as a nickname. But I don't really like it as a standalone first name... It's too abrupt and too "country" for me. I'm not sure what first names could give you Bo as a nickname, though. PP mentioned Robert and I can see how that could work... a spinoff of Bob or Bobby I guess.  Here are some names that begin with Bo that I found on a baby name site: Boden, Bowen, Boyd, Booker, Boris, Bodie, Boone.  I like Bodie!

I prefer it spelled Beau.

Now that I wrote it down I see that Beau and my last name look nice together because my last name has letters e,a and u in it.

Bodhi for a full name..

I'm not a huge fan of the name but I can say I prefer Beau to Bo.

I went to high school with a Bo. I thought it stood alone fine. He was a very likeable guy and didn't have any problems with his name.

I do prefer the spelling Beau. I really like this name and have it on my long list.

I love the name Beau. Complete as a stand-alone, strikes me as very classic.

 

Boden is also a great name, then you can use NN Bodie or Bo

Boden or Bodhi

As a soap opera fan, Bo sounds perfectly fine to me as a stand alone name. Days of Our Lives and One Life to Live both had characters names Bo.

I like Beau but would def. spell it this way. I think it definitely can stand alone but would pair it with a longer mn like Beau Harrison ---  or Beau Everett   etc..

My husband's cousin's name is Beaudry. Goes by Beau.

I work with a Beau that is very good looking and very smart.

I adore the name Beau, but only spelled this way!

I love Beau, one of my fave boy names. I think it stands alone better than Bo.

Beau is okay. Bo just reminds me of the first dog.
