I have loved this name for years. I knew someday I would have a son named Beau, and we do! He is now 4 yrs old, and he's the only Beau we've met, with the exception of a guy that my husband went to college with. I love his name because it's different, yet still something people have heard before. The only problem we encounter is people wanting to spell it "Bo".
