Do Australians still talk about Bogans?

You could spell it Beau-Ghan.

We have a Beau Gans carpets in the town centre here !!

And I have outed myself as a Shakespearean with no knowledge of these other references.

Have you watched 10 Things I Hate About You? It's a great modern retelling of ToaS.

Bianca reminds of Selena's henchwoman in the 1984 movie Supergirl.

I have outed myself as a millenial there.

I've never watched a full episode of East Enders. I find it kind of depressing.

But I was thinking of Bianca in Taming of the Shrew.

My niece is called Beau-Belle. And she bloody suits it so much!!!!

How does she suit it? Has she capsized?

@MeetMyCat , Bianca is a Shakespearean name. Tiffany is a surname.

Jollyhockeysticks1 · 09/10/2025 20:30

Would you employ a Catherine/Emily/Hannah/Rachel/Charlotte/or a Beau-Lilah? Giving her a god-awful name such as that is setting her up for failure and to be the subject of ridicule in every aspect of her life. Can you imagine a Dr Beau-Lilah?

Totally agree with this. I haven’t cringed so much since Bianca and Tiffany

Oh dear. Maybe think again.

JillyGiraffe · 10/10/2025 12:50

You really have to force the pause between the two names otherwise it sounds like Bolilah. But I can’t say I’m a fan of calling a girl Beau or using a hyphen. There are so many beautiful, strong, traditional or modern names out there…

@Movingonup313

why is girly a good thing? Just because the child is born a girl doesn’t mean they have to be girly.

Steady on. She's only countering the claim that Beau is heavily masculine in all respects.
