Beau is only the 2nd one of my dogs that I have actually named myself. The 1st was my pit bull Max, a shelter dog who was called (not even kidding) Muttly by the shelter staff. I chose the name Max because he was sick and weak and I wanted to give him a big strong name. I wish I was more creative when it came to naming my pets, but about the most creative I ever got was a pair of domestic rats that I named Elvis & Ozzy.
Anyway the first full day we had Beau home my Mom and I talked about names, and couldn't come up with anything we liked. So I took to the internet and came up with a list of really cute names that we both liked . . . Oskar, Simon, and Eddie were at the top of the list, but nothing clicked. The whole time I had been on the web (over an hour) the name Beau just kept popping into my thoughts. But I really wanted to pick an "uncommon" name this time, I mean our last 3 dogs were Charlie, Lilly, and Max
. Still the name Beau just kept coming back to me. We had pretty much decided on calling him Simon, but it just didn't fit him. Finally I just looked down at him and said "Beau", and he popped his little head up and looked at me like all right Mom you figured it out
.
