This is also a Dutch name, my cousin bears this name too. It is an ordinary name in the Netherlands, but not very common.

I really like the name Bo, on a girl. The little girl from 'Signs' held the name well. It works as a girl's name.

Means "who lives in one place", or a land owner, in contrast to being a hunter or nomad. In Viking ages or eariler, only used by Jarls or similair. Since 1800's often used as fore-names by common people in Sweden, Denmark and sometimes elsewhere.

It's a girl's name too. It is my mother's friend's name. I think it is a good name, but I shall never name my son this as I feel that it is very feminine.

I don't understand why I like this name on a boy, but I do. I think it's adorable on a girl, now that people have mentioned it.

My friend named her son Bo but spelled it Beaux. I think it is really cool, but would use it for a girl.

I once met a Robert who went by Bo. I think it's good as a short form on a boy ONLY! On a girl, it's ugly.

I also knew someone named Robert who went by Bo. I think it sounds really cool, but only as a nickname.

Bo is a really awesome and cool name, and should only be used for boys. I would rate this name a 11 out of 10, because it is so good.

Several other sources say the meaning of Bo for a girl is "precious". I love this name for a girl, it is simple and unpretentious, yet makes a statement.
