Good morning all,

So baby no3 is on his way - Due early August. Just wanted to get your opinions on our names that we cannot decide on:

Jesse-Beau - His nickname will be JB
Benjamin-Beau - His nickname will be Benji-Beau

We have 2 darling girlies Angel-Iris and Clover-Skye and coming up with a lads name has been pretty hard as we both thought we'd be having another girl and decided straight away on a name before even finding out the gender.

All your opinions are welcome. TIA

I'm astonished at myself, but I actually quite like Benji-Beau!

Overall though, I think boys' names are better in the singular, and unhyphenated.

Jesse
Benjamin
or Beau

Benjamin is a nice name but Benjamin-beau is very long. Truthfully I think adding beau on the end ruins both names.

I like Jesse
Jesse-Beau is alright
I can't say Benji Beau easily
Although I like Benji on its own.

Thank-you. We have a thing for double first names, hence the hyphen. Beau isnt a middle name, it's the second first name. Like the girl's names. :)

I like Benjamin. Jesse is ok. Not keen on Beau but if you are going to use it I would lose the hyphen.
