Full name for Beau??

Boy Names
1

TTC#2 in a few months and I am crushing hard on [name_m]Beau[/name_m] lately. I just know my husband won’t go for it though. Can you suggest any longer more formal names that could get me [name_m]Beau[/name_m] as a nickname?? Bonus points for easy to spell, easy to pronounce and not over the top.

Thanks Berries!!

If DD had been a boy she would have been [name_m]Beau[/name_m] and I looked high and low for longer names for which [name_m]Beau[/name_m]/[name_u]Bo[/name_u] could be a nickname for. I found some, but none I liked nearly as much as just [name_m]Beau[/name_m] so that’s what I stood by.

[name_m]Beauregard[/name_m]
Beauford
[name_m]Beaumont[/name_m]
[name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m]
[name_m]Boden[/name_m]
[name_m]Bode[/name_m] / [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] / Bodie
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Boaz[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] – maybe?
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]
[name_m]Bolton[/name_m]
[name_m]Booker[/name_m]
[name_m]Bowen[/name_m]
[name_m]Boris[/name_m]

Any name with a strong B and O in there would possibly work.

Maybe [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], [name_m]Borris[/name_m], [name_m]Bosco[/name_m], [name_m]Bowen[/name_m]? They’re all short and (I would think) easy to pronounce.

I love [name_m]Beau[/name_m]! It’s one of my favorites. Beaumont is my favorite long form of [name_m]Beau[/name_m]. I also like [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] and [name_m]Bowen[/name_m].

[name_m]Broderick[/name_m]

Bronan
Brodney
Brooks

I think Beaumont is a really good option. [name_m]Robert[/name_m] could also work, as a previous poster suggested.

Thanks all! I had never thought of [name_m]Bowen[/name_m] and I like [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], [name_m]Boden[/name_m] and [name_m]Broderick[/name_m]. I’m not sure they have enough international ease to appeal to my husband and our bilingual household but I am going to try!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]?

I think [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] or [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] are the best options- both seem reasonably international

10

Yes! I always forget that [name_u]Bo[/name_u] could work for [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] and I love [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]!

[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]?
I know its more of a girls name but it could still work
