Bow.
I've known people with the name "Beau" and its always pronounced "bow" so that's how I know how to say his name. cx

It's more like people who don't know a lick of French pronouncing it how it looks. I don't speak French, don't study it, and probably will not study it just to know how it's pronounced. You can be mad about it but really, not everyone studies/studied French.

As for how it is pronounced in French, I'll keep that in mind. I called Beau by "byu" in such a long time that it'll take a while to adjust.
 
I say "Bow". Just personal preference, never even though of the other one.
 
I pronounce it "bow", because as a French speaker that's what's normal to me. Also, I've met several people named both Beau and Bowe, and they all pronounce it the same. ( I think Bowe is the "American" way of spelling Beau. )

I've never studied French except in like 6th grade because it was mandatory I thought it was just common knowledge but apparently it's not I've known people with the name and it's always bow that's why I said that
 
Im pretty sure the official way to pronounce it is "bow" and not "bew" (rhymes with pew). But that's just me I mean, different people pronounce things differently. xD
 
I pronounce it the proper way (the French way). I think it's kind of strange that some people know the correct way to pronounce it but still choose to call him Byew -.-
A lot of people probably pronounce Chevre's name incorrectly too. Poor babies who have names that are always being butchered.. ;-;

I say it like "beautiful" but without the "tiful", so like "bee-yoo". I don't really care what the actual pronunciation is. Different people say it different ways and even though I might be wrong, it's not that big of a deal. c':
