The spelling.

It's quite French.

That it is Leila! Words with "eau" in them can immediately leap out at you as something of French origin... heheheh, "beau" means "good-looking".

Yup.

Lol, it's funny, when you think about the word "beautiful" Should it really be pronounced "botiful"? And it's funny how it means "good-looking-full. XD

I mentally pronounce it "bee-a-oo-tif-ul" so as to remember how to spell it. :lol:

Me too! XD I tried explaining this mental pronunciation to my mom, when I was little, about the word "monkey", and how pronouncing it "mon-kay" in my head let me spell it right, and she didn't understand and kept telling me that was incorrect. XD

My username pretty much gives away my common name.

Before anyone asks, it stands for Bige (prounounced BI-juh, not "biggie"; no one ever gets it right) and Junior (I am named for my dad).
