Like "merci beaucoup"'s beau part, pronounced as bo with a long "o"

After having second thoughts, the name above is not French, but rather Italian descent. If the name is Italian, it would be pronounced like "be-" as in "beta" and "-acco" as in "according". Or, there should be a accent over "e" like Béacco.

: Do you know the owner of the name? "bo" isn't the the usual French pronunciation of "bea"
