MommyInTraining Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 What do you think sounds good for a middle name if the first name is Beau? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My first thought was Bridges or Jangles. Hope someone comes up with more realistic ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My first thought was Bridges or Jangles. Hope someone comes up with more realistic ideas. My mind works the same way - just more historically... What about Beau Regard? Sorry, that's not helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 :D Let's see.... Beau Robert -- "handsome bright fame" Beau Richard -- "handsome strong power" Beau Andrew -- "handsome man/warrior" Beau Porter -- "handsome one who carries" And my husband's contributions.... (be ready): Beau Tye Beau Tox Beau Jangles and last but not least, Beau Ling Sorry, I asked him, and that's what he said. I live with it daily. You just get the faintest wisps of his wit. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It really depends on the last name, too, but off the top of my head: Beau Xavier Beau Michael Beau Alden Beau Isaac Beau Roderick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Depends on the family name. If you have a short last name, you'll need a longer middle name, Beau Hamilton Jones, Beau Jonathon Smith, kind of rhythm. If your last name is long, you can either go for the shortest names Beau Luke Jefferson-Clarke, or go for short-medium-long Beau Richard Davenport. I like to avoid alliteration Beau Bastian Barnaby. Or potential rhyming Beau Joseph. And of course check for undesirable initials if that is a concern. Otherwise, really a matter of taste. My personal favorite would be Beau David.

TXMomof4 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 James I think that rolls off the tongue well. Beau James. One of my favorite little boys in the world is Beau. Other than my own of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialmama Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 How many syllables does your last name have? That does matter IMO. I'm just going by what sounds good to my ear, not looking up any meanings: Beau Adam Beau Riley Beau Lorin Beau Bailey Beau Michael Beau Kenyon Beau Evans Beau Carlton Beau William Beau Timothy Beau Hayden Beau Bryson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I think for flow, it needs to have 3 syllables or more. Beau Christopher Beau Benjamin Beau Gregory Beau Alexander Beau Donovan Just my thoughts... edited to add....

EthiopianFood Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 That was my first thought 'three'. Number four for "Regard." :glare: I agree with the PP that we need to know how many syllables are in your last name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Beau was the name of my father's dog, so I am no help. Is Beau a full name or a nickname? I think it;s sweet, but it sounds short for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 How bout "Beau" as the middle name? Could be "short" for something... but I couldn't find anything that would really sound good. Could be short for Boden. Like "Bowden" or.... Beauden. pronounced "boe den" Kinda like Broden Beauden. I like it with a "y" but wonder if that makes it look like you're trying to make it look feminine... Boeden.... Boedin... Beaudan Kinda like it:-) Hmm:-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Maybe it is just me and I'm oversensitive, but if I would have asked for MIDDLE name suggestions and gotten as many jokes and critiques as she got here, I'd be really sad and embarrassed. I'm not sure we behaved appropriately -- unless many of you know this poster very well and have that kind of relationship with her, kwim? If I'm out of line, I"m sorry. I have a son with an "old man" name and before he was born, everyone said, "gosh, that's an odd choice" --- or MUCH worse. Know, everyone knows him (he's 7) and he couldn't be anything else!

I hope the OP didn't take it that way. :( I don't think it's an odd choice at all! My dd has a boy's name, so I'm certainly not going to judge "Beau." :D Rereading some of the replies makes me want to add, I would consider how you want his name to feel. Do you want a more modern/southern feel, or do you want to make it sound more formal? I think the middle name would push it in whichever direction you choose.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 All I can think of is Beau Derek. I'm sorry, as a French speaker, I just can't stand that name. It's like you're calling your son 'Handsome'. I know it's an English name, but it just doesn't sound right in my language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I really like Beau James or Beau Alexander. Do you need a middle name? I knew a girl in high school who didn't have one and thought it was really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to use my children's names on the internet though ;), so I won't be posting what we decided on. As for some of the comments on this thread, I am enough of a veteran around here to know that I need to wear my thick skin when coming into the "hive". Have to watch out for those stings, ya know?
