[name_m]Just[/name_m] wanting to gage whether or not people think Beauden is a cute name for a wee boy.
Beauden - pronounced [name_u]Beau[/name_u]-don
Beauden has recently come under the radar in [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand thanks to an All [name_m]Black[/name_m] (rugby team), Beauden [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], nn Beaudy ([name_m]Bodhi[/name_m])
I personally never really liked it… Things have changed and now im quite fond of it.
What do you guys think?
(Not expecting)
I knew I had heard it as soon as I read it since I’m Australian I think it must have been from the rugby player. I really like it I think it helps to make [name_u]Beau[/name_u] more interesting and Beaudy is another great nickname
My mum actually suggested this today, now I know where she got it from!!
At first I didn’t like it now I like the name now after thinking about it as PP, said it helps to make [name_u]Beau[/name_u] more interesting.
Being a kiwi myself I instantly thought of Beauden [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] given how big rugby is here and how famous the All Blacks are. But I think that it’s a really cute name and he’s not a bad person to be named after. I like the nick named Beaudy I think it’s cute along with [name_u]Beau[/name_u] as emiliana suggested.
Hm, [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] happens to be one of my favorite names, but Beauden seems like an un-intuitive way to elongate [name_u]Beau[/name_u]. What about Bowden, or Bodhen?
No.
It sounds like the name takes [name_u]Beau[/name_u] and adds the -den that many made-up boys names have these days, like [name_m]Zayden[/name_m], [name_u]Jayden[/name_u], [name_u]Brayden[/name_u].
I am all for smart name inventions, but in this case I want to say: Use [name_u]Beau[/name_u] or [name_u]Bo[/name_u] or use [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m].
I think Bodhen would be a little better [name_f]IMO[/name_f], since this could pass as a last name I’m not familiar with. But the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_u]Beau[/name_u] clashes for me with the random English -den suffix, and it doesn’t add up to a name I’d consider.
[name_m]Boden[/name_m] (like the clothing company) is probably a bit more usable - the Beauden spelling is a bit tedious.
I quite like it but when it comes down to it, I prefer just [name_u]Beau[/name_u].
I like the sound of it! Bodden is also another spelling for that same sound.
Beauden seems contrived. I think [name_m]Boden[/name_m] would be a better option.
I can see the appeal. I’d be inclined to spell it as Bowden though.
When I think of butchered spellings or names, this is a good example. [name_u]Beau[/name_u] and [name_m]Boden[/name_m] are good names, Beauden is not.
I would immediately think ‘uhh, weird spelling…’, especially as their is a clothing company (at least in [name_f]England[/name_f]) in [name_f]England[/name_f] called [name_m]Boden[/name_m] that I am familiar with.
It’s okay, but I prefer just [name_u]Beau[/name_u].
I like [name_u]Beau[/name_u] but not Beauden.
I see the appeal. I prefer [name_u]Beau[/name_u] on its own. I like [name_m]Boden[/name_m] and Bowden a lot more.
I love it - we actually named our dog Beaudy after the one and only Beauden [name_u]Barrett[/name_u], and if we hadn’t I definitely would have considered it as a child’s name. It’s definitely rare, but I think in NZ now it would be hugely acceptable, even if it wasn’t so much overseas
That particular spelling is a little off putting to me. The name itself is fine. I’d prefer it as [name_m]Boden[/name_m] or Bowden.
