No. Beau is a specifically masculine name, the male equivalent of Belle (French).
Bo is a girl’s name.
Lilah is fine

How about Brian-Lillian 😁

Why, why, why, Beau-Lilah?

Absolutely fucking awful, and I rarely comment on anyone's name choice.

Birdy1982 · 09/10/2025 14:47

Short for Isabeau ? That is a pretty name
Beau-Lilah ain’t great tbh - sounds like an STD 🤣🤣🤣

Why, why, why, Beau-Lilah?

Kept reading it in the voice of the bored teacher in Ferris Bueller’a day off…

”Bueller, Bueller?, Bueller?”

Sorry but it sounds chavvy

PreciousTatas · 09/10/2025 14:45

Depends.

How much are you planning to hate your child?

ZiggyZowie · 09/10/2025 14:44

😂😂😂

DumpedByText · 09/10/2025 14:44

Oh please no, just remember they will be a grown up one day!

Needmorelego · 09/10/2025 14:44

Lilah is lovely.
Beau is.....odd.
Both together doesn't really work.
As someone said there is the name Beulah which is ok.

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 09/10/2025 14:44

Naw, just naw

Westfacing · 09/10/2025 14:43

Is this a potential non-binary name?

How are intending to pronounce it?

Giving yer the benefit of the doubt here assuming you're genuine!

bibliomania · 09/10/2025 14:43

please don't

treesandsun · 09/10/2025 14:43

I like them both individually but not together. I think the spelling of Bo for a girl it's just a two letters.

I hate the word chav - it's unnecessarily rude an often used by people who others would describe as chavs themselves

watermybegonias · 09/10/2025 14:41

Chavtastic! 🤢

Pemba · 09/10/2025 14:40

I like Lilah, but not this Beau-Lilah you've just made up.

  1. Beau is male. (Female would be Belle)
  2. Means 'handsome' so it's a lot to live up to, quite awkward.
  3. Sounds like a (male) character in 'Gone With the Wind', (set in the southern states of the USA, 1860s). Quite a cheesy vibe.
  4. Although it's a French word, you can bet it's not used as a name in actual France, as they'd find it ridiculous, just as in the UK we would find it weird to name your son 'handsome'. Poor kid!
  5. Hyphens are naff.

Just have Lilah! (or maybe Delilah if you want something a bit longer). Lilah is nice, why ruin it?

chickenlettuceunderbacon · 09/10/2025 14:38

No. Just don't.

Can't believe you have even asked this tbh.

LeopardsANeutral · 09/10/2025 14:36

Beau is usually a boys name I think. I like the other part, but spelt Lyla - I'm a big Oasis fan.

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 09/10/2025 14:36

So confused!

MoonDanceDiner · 09/10/2025 14:34

It would be a no from me as well.

What about Beulah? My DH would have been named this had he been born a girl.
