We have just started thinking about names and I really like Boo for a girl? We have quite a long surname so would like something nice and short. I know it sounds quite cutesy but think the lack of a middle name would help.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Nice as a nickname - why not give her a proper name and then have a nickname.

1 of my dd's nicknames is Boo the other is Larly.. not as a real name though

What about spelling it Bu? I've met a girl called Bu and I believe it's a Vietnamese name meaning lucky...
Love it by the way!

I sent to Uní with a girl called Boo. She was gorgeous so it's a nice name to me.

Noooooooooooooooooooo to Boudicca/any other spelling thereof. Just no.

Boo is a short form of Picabo - a Native American name meaning Shining Waters (used in the Picabo region of Idaho). Same word as Peekaboo actually. I think it is dead cute!

DD is Boo - NOT her real name but what she is known as (mostly).
However, her real name is equally hated by MN, so maybe I should reserve judgement.
That wasn't very helpful at all was it?
