Thoughts?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
Bumdrops · 09/10/2025 14:10

Honestly that’s the chavviest name I’ve seen / heard for a while -

OP - what are your thoughts ?

Stoufer · 09/10/2025 14:11

No, not good

wandawaves · 09/10/2025 14:11

Lol, no.

Happyapplesanspears · 09/10/2025 14:11

Erm that’s awful

FunnysInLaJardin · 09/10/2025 14:11

pronounced like Delilah?

HelpMeUnpickThis · 09/10/2025 14:12

Sorry, no.

DeeThree · 09/10/2025 14:12

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

dailyconniptions · 09/10/2025 14:12

Hyphenated names are generally disliked on MN. It sounds like a mix of male and female names to me and I'm afraid I don't like it at all.

youmustbeshittingme · 09/10/2025 14:12

Awful. Mainly because it’s two names that don’t go together at all and I dislike hyphenated names.
Even if I liked Beau as a name, isn’t it more of a boys name?

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 09/10/2025 14:12

Erm, I think it's absolutely awful, sorry.

34ransum · 09/10/2025 14:12

Beau is the male version of Belle isn't it?

Hoppinggreen · 09/10/2025 14:12

No, just no

itsanothernamechangeone · 09/10/2025 14:12

I think it’s the mix of male and female that I really don’t like. I don’t love hyphenated anyway.

coxesorangepippin · 09/10/2025 14:12

Just no

IdaGlossop · 09/10/2025 14:13

Sounds like 'bow lilo' to me. Don't like it at all.

Perplexled · 09/10/2025 14:13

Order a coffee in Starbucks and give that as your name when they ask. Then consider whether you want your daughter to go through life having to do the same…

ACatAsleepInYourHat · 09/10/2025 14:13

Good grief, that's awful. Shouldn't you be on the current Chav Names thread, OP?

WolfieMuma · 09/10/2025 14:13

So, pronounced “Bo-Lee-la”?

Then, no.. absolutely not

martha4clark · 09/10/2025 14:13

The baby will grow up to be an adult woman - can you imagine a 40, 50, 60 (…..) yr old called that??

CocoPlum · 09/10/2025 14:13

Beau for a girl is always odd - it means handsome in French, it's the masculine version of Belle.

It's not for me OP, but you name your child what you like.

CharlieKirkRIP · 09/10/2025 14:14

Utterly grim.

AgnesMcDoo · 09/10/2025 14:15

Oh dear

blankcanvas3 · 09/10/2025 14:15

Beau is a boys name but even if it wasn’t that would be horrific

doreuol · 09/10/2025 14:16

Please don’t!

Filofaxforlife · 09/10/2025 14:16

Sorry OP it doesn’t work because it’s male/female. No one will use both parts of a hyphenated name so just use Lilah. Also how is Lilah pronounced is it Lie-Lar or Lil-ah or Lee-lar? Even that single name will cause you issues.
