[Opinions] Re: Bo and Beau
in reply to a message by Bear
I had a customer come in last Saturday and I talked to her about a catering event. To get an idea of what to suggest to her, I asked what the event was, and she said "Oh, just a little party to celebrate my beau's success" and ugh no thank you. I prefer the spelling Bo, I guess, but I really don't like either much. However, I'm not a big B name fan in general either and there's not much to this name otherwise.-Bo Alexander
Bo Carbrey / Cairbre
Bo Casimir
Bo Dacre
Bo Hector
Bo Jurian
Bo Malachi
Bo Meriwether
Bo Quincy
Bo Selwyn
Bo Torin
Bo Wesley
Bo Willoughby

Agreed. "Beau = boyfriend" bugs me too. I'm loving:Bo Alexander -- the long mn balances out the shortness of Bo nicely
Bo Casimir -- ditto
Bo Hector -- the "r" ending on the mn is alluring
Bo Malachi -- could I tweak it to Bo Malachy?
Bo Meriwether -- cute
Bo WesleyBut I'm over the moon about Bo Carbery / Cairbre! You couldn't know this, but my mother is from a part of Ireland called, "Carbery's Thousand Isles" and my grandfather was born nearby in Rosscarbery. One of my attraction's to the name Bo is that it means "cow" in Irish. The thought of a feminine animal for a boy's name tickle's me. Few outside of Ireland would know that so I don't feel badly using it. Anyway, combining Bo with Cairbre / Carbery is genius! I'm not going to use it on a real child. Those days are over. But I'm starting to warm up to Bo on a cat. Girl cow (Bo) on a boy cat. What do you think? So now the difficulty becomes which spelling of Carbery / Cairbre to use. Oh, the toil of it all. :-)THANK YOU!
