- Skill_mag1g: Quite Nice!
- Slaying_1586: Pretentious and childish. If this was my name, I would legitimately be so embarrassed. Imagine how you would feel realizing your name was handsome (descriptive, plural) in French?
- Dutchxkorean: This has to be the most over-the-top "rich kid" spelling I have ever seen. When my cousin told me about his friend named Beaux, I automatically assumed it was spelled Bo.
