So I definitely don't like that as an option. I like Beau on its own. Beaumont is okay (though to my ears this sounds more like the name of a tree-line parkway than a name for a male human). Let us know what you come up with!

H heyyady Guest Jun 12, 2012 #10 Beau is short for Beauregard, but Bo is also short for Bowie, Boden and Boyd. Is the Bo Radly a nod to To Kill A Mocking Bird?
