How do YOU pronounce Beau?

[SirFluffsALot]

I forgot there is multiple pronunciations of "bow". Whoops. But yeah, it's like the ribbon kind. <xD

I voted for "bow", but I agree that "bo" is more accurate to what I say (and what I think is the intended way).

I can just imagine talking to an English speaking Animal Crossing fan who's talking about "Bee-you" - I would never guess that they could mean "Beau"... but it's really cute, I like it as a nickname

Anyway, Beau is named Martin in my game since it's in German. Hehe.

When I was in Middle School we read a book for an assignment and the young woman in the story would refer to her boyfriend as her beau. The teacher told us it was pronounced bow and not Be-you. So I have always pronounced Beau as bow.

My grandparents had a dog named Beau, (He died last year ) so I always knew how to say it. Plus I have all the same classes as a guy named Beau.

It's clearly pronounced like bow.

Defintely bow as in a ribbon or a bow tie.

Like "bow". It's how you pronounce "beau" in french, lol.

 

[rocklazy]

Like bow. It feels to weird ot say it like the beau in beautiful lol

 

[Nunbal]

I don't know but I say it like Boo lol

This probably doesn't make any sense to you English-speakers but "b??" is how I pronounce it. It should be close to how beau is pronounced in French and how you guys pronounce bow.

I've always pronounced it as bee-u. I only realized it was supposed to be pronounced like bow until recently but it's not really sticking

 

[Alienfish]

[Pookie4557]

For the longest time I've pronounced it "byew" but I have a kid in one of my classes who has the name Beau so I'm beginning to pronounce it "bow" because that's how it's spose to be.

 

[Kurashiki]

bow, like in french.

 

[Orihime-chan]

i kind of say baeoo personally. maybe sometimes bow? it just depends on my mood :3.

 

[GuerreraD]

Oh, the poll is already closed...
Anyway, since Beau is a french name, I pronounce it as french too. That sounds more or less like "bu".

 

[Elin1O]

I've always pronounced it as "bow". Honestly, I thought everyone did. I haven't had a thought about pronouncing it any other way than that, until I saw this thread. And it seems it's actually a few that pronounces it "byew", hah.

 

[waterfallcrossing]

[AccfSally]

Bow, as in hair bow or rainbow
