"Bea" means "baby" in french. "Bébé" or "Bé" for short.
Here in Québec people are saying "bé" for more than 50 years now and for the same reason as you: "Baby" is too cheesy, specially in public... So "Bé, viens ici" or "Bea, come here" in Murica.
Come here bea...
Bea can you pick up some milk on your way home
