A big hello to those of you who remember me as BrookeMD, I am back. :) My sister in law had a baby boy 1/17 and named him Mason Beauregard (for the name of the Louisiana Parish she and my husband grew up in). It is definitely interesting, what do you think?

I like Mason. Isn't Beauregard the last name of Violet in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory?

I do rather like Mason, and have to admit to a fondness for Beauregard but I'm not sure I really like them together. It's not too bad though. :)

Very southern. Not that that's a bad thing. Mason isn't really to my liking, but I like the dramatic Beauregard as long as its in the mn slot (it'd be a bit over the top as a fn), especially since it has significance for them.

BTW - Joanna Catherine is great.

Mason's nice, but not really my style. Still, I sort of like it. I don't care much for Beauregard though.

I really like Mason. Beauregard is too much the french words beau and regard glued together to be a name, but I like where they got it from so that makes it up for me.

To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet

I'm not a big fan of Beauregard - whatsoever
Mason, on the other hand, is a guilty pleasure of mine... I really like this as a name, but a lot of people that I have talked to don't.
