All really dreadful, sorry.
Rae is awful, Beau is a boy's name and I really don't like the first names either.

Beau is masculine, mean handsome in french. Belle is the feminine form meaning beautiful in french. Or there is Bo which is the feminine spelling of Beau. (If that makes any sense..)

Not fussed on either of the first names.

Seem a bit faddy that should have said.

Not my cup of tea, Myla reminds me of those cosmetic surgery ads that pop up on webpages. And I prefer leila/Layla to lila but that's just personal preference.

The middle names seem a bit daddy too, but you have a really strong surname that would work with most names.

Prefer Lila to Myla I think.

Beau is a boy's name - the masculine form of Belle. What about using Belle instead?

BadHenry · 15/07/2015 10:45

Lila is nice (also Leila). But Myla is not really to my taste (maybe because it reminds me of Mylene Klass!?). I prefer Mia or Mila.

Really not keen on Rae or Beau I'm afraid. They just don't seem like proper names to me. More like sounds (but I suppose that could be said about many names!).

Lila is ok

Rest dislike

Myla and Lila are both fine as names, not really my taste but perfectly fine. I think I prefer Lila. I dislike both of your middle names, Beau is particularly bad IMO. The only person I ever came across with this name was an overweight, American man. But I'm of the opinion that middle names are completely irrelevant as she'll probably never use it so it doesn't really matter IMO.
