Bo for a girl???

[tatesmommy09]

Ever since hubby and I started dating we have wanted to name our little girl (if we have one) Bo. We saw the name on the movie signs and fell in love with it. We will be spelling it Bo like Little Bo Peep and not Beau. I dont have a middle name picked yet but it would be a family name and very feminine. We have son named Tate Millan and if we have another boy he will be Miles Franklin. Maybe thinking of using the name Beatrice and calling her Bo but Im just not up on the whole idea of naming your child one thing and calling them another. So what do you think of Bo for agirl???

Ther is a cartoon at the moment with a Bo (Bo on the Go).... Can't say i like it much, but that's just me and it's not my baby. I wouldn't think twice hearing it as a girls name

I like the name Bo, and I really like the idea of giving her a formal name too. All my children, bar one, have a formal name but are called a shortened version at home as well as at school and nursery. I think it means if they grow up and hate their name they can choose another version of it.

I actually prefer Bo for a girl. When I was pregnant with DS, DH had his heart set on Beau as a name for him (we didn't know what we were having until I was 34 weeks). Then I realised that his favourite show of all ime is the Dukes of Hazard (Beau and Luke Duke) . So that was out.

I dunno about having a formal name though. Our little guy is just Nate, not Nathaniel (DD couldn't say it so we figured 'what's the point?'), so I guess I'm more a fan of giving them the name I intend to use.

I'm sorry but I know too many boys named Beau to like Bo for a girl, but I always say if you love it then thats all that really matters!

thanks for your opinions ladies. Im glad to hear that it is out there as a first name other than bo derek. We are really wanting to use one syllable first names for all of our kids. Thats a big problen with giving her a longer first name. Oh well, I have plenty of time to think about it I guess!

I LOVE Bo for a girl, its cute!
But in saying that, i live in a small town, and there was a girl i grew up with and her name is Bo and she is a stuck up cow! lol!
But other then that, i think its gorgeous, don't name her Bo Kaye ... LOL! Lame i know, or Bo Mai sounds funny, you need a long name like Bo Abigail, Bo Maree, Bo Jane, hmmm hard to think of a middle name ... Bo Isabelle, Bo Annabella, Bo Alexis

anyway, im rambling now!!
