Meaning and background
The story behind Beaux
Beaux is an established plural of beau in English, pronounced /boʊz/ in the dictionary. Merriam-Webster gives beau senses relating to a dandy or a boyfriend. That is useful spelling context for an owner who likes the name’s appearance: the final x is part of a recorded plural form. A household may choose a different everyday pronunciation for its dog, but that preference is separate from the word’s dictionary pronunciation.
