[Opinions] Re: Bo Carbery / Cairbre
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!
