Thoughts?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not nice!

Is anyone else seeing the ad for Better Libido?

I think AI may be struggling to make sense of the name.

Linenpickle · 09/10/2025 17:33

Such a trailer trash hill billy name.

Ooh what about Beau-Selecta?

😍

OP. We always used to try to think of what school nicknames or songs would the other kids make up about a name... and try to thwart that. Mindyou they will always make up something but don't make it so easy for them.

A hypenated first name is very Hollywood.

A lot of people have suggested Delilah.. but I think you'd have people singing the Tom Jones song at her.

Isla on the other hand is classic, not over used and beautiful.

Cailleachnamara · 09/10/2025 17:31

Unless the child is intersex I'm not sure why anyone would lumber the poor wee soul with a male and female name hyphenated together.

You do realise beau is a French male adjective meaning beautiful?

Bloody hell, that is horrific.

Tom Jones comes to mind....

To mine too but that's just my age

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 09/10/2025 17:29

Dearie me. That’s pretty bad.

TheGander · 09/10/2025 17:29

That’s a no then.

Funny how these weird names always got dropped by an OP with a string of numbers for a user name who then never comes back.

To be fair to her, you’d have to be pretty brave to come back to dozens of posters telling you what shit taste in names you have, I’m not sure I’d do it! 😄

AnastasiaBeeverhausen · 09/10/2025 17:17

Chavtastic 😁

QuickPeachPoet · 09/10/2025 17:17

It sounds like a disease

WilfredsPies · 09/10/2025 17:17

I like Beau, although for a boy, and I really like Lila. But the two names together don’t exactly roll off the tongue. Like Bob Linda.

If you love them, would you consider swapping them round (and dropping the ‘h’ from Lila)?

TigTails · 09/10/2025 17:16

Why why why Beau-Lilah…

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 09/10/2025 17:13

Is it in case the girl decides she wants to be a boy when she grows up ?

My first were

A sibling for Bo selecta

AttilaTheMeerkat · 09/10/2025 17:11

You need a rethink. Do not saddle her with that terrible name.

Foundress · 09/10/2025 17:11

Zempy · 09/10/2025 15:30

Megalolz

Now that is a good name 😂.

Well Beau is male, so for that reason... I'm out

Masculine version. Would drive me nuts as a linguist.

LancashireButterPie · 09/10/2025 16:47

Lilah Beau or Lilah Belle is slightly better.

Though sounds like a steamboat

user2848502016 · 09/10/2025 17:02

Awful sorry
Delilah is nice though, or just Lilah on it’s own?
Beau is usually a boy’s name too….

Agreed - find it so annoying how many girls are called Beau and I can only assume the parents haven’t researched it at all and don’t realise it’s masculine?
