I'm sorry but it's not to my taste. I think it looks chavvy as do all hyphenated names. The worse are the ones with -Mae or -Rose on the end. Seem to be bloody everywhere at the moment. My son's class is swarming with Lily-Roses and Ellie-Maes. Just awful.

Beau -Lilah is an only fans name

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 09/10/2025 18:44

It’s even too on the nose for an OnlyFans name!

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

Really? Aren't Holly Willoughbys kids called Beau and Belle?

Wouldn’t surprise me

Pronounced Bow-lie-lah

?

Terrible, but I s'pose it's YoooneeeK

FunnysInLaJardin · 09/10/2025 14:11

pronounced like Delilah?

Why would you pronounce "beau" to rhyme with "dee" ? adding ignorance to vulgarity

lessglittermoremud · 09/10/2025 18:58

It would be better if you switched it around and changed ‘Beau’ with ‘Bo’, so Lilah-Bo if you want to use that name.
2 of my children have names that are usually used by males but I have come across 2 girls called the same, it was a little odd purely because I’m so used to associating the name with a boy but the names do work for girls.
Beau is not one of those names that’s interchangeable as it’s a masculine version of the name Belle, so you could do Lilah-Belle then when she’s older she could pick which name to choose, Lilah-Belle I think is pretty for a hyphenated name.

Ram beau I see what yiu did there

Yep - really enjoying the thread. Sorry for the OP though - she’s getting a pasting !! I can guarantee if they go ahead with the name, the child will be known at school as ‘beaunhead’ !! Kids can be cruel enough without parents supplying the ammunition for them to fire.

Starlight7080 · 09/10/2025 19:02

This has to be a joke...noone would be that cruel

inkognitha · 09/10/2025 19:03

Nooooooo

Rosscameasdoody · 09/10/2025 19:04

OP a cautionary tale about childrens names and how cruel kids can be. I went to secondary school with a girl whose surname was Gerken. It took about two minutes for her to be nicknamed pickle.

Like the Bow-Belle disaster?? 🤯

Alternatives

Beau-Bridges
Beau- Knee-O
Beau-No
Beau-Tie
Beau-L
Holly-Beau-Lighlty
Beau-Mauris
Skegness

“Skegness” is clearly the best name out of that lot! 🤣🤣🤣

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 09/10/2025 19:07

Lilah Belle, maybe?

InveterateWineDrinker · 09/10/2025 19:07

Sounds too much like Bohica.

As in 'Bend Over, Here It Comes Again'. Usually encountered as a state of mind in a team with really poor management.

I thought that but the one that made me spit coffee was Beau-l.

Well they've certainly not bothered to return to the thread and answer questions

Flowerpower70 · 09/10/2025 19:14

No! Please don't. Lots of nice names out there but this isn't one of them.. beau-no!

Rosscameasdoody · 09/10/2025 19:14

Beau legs. I’ll get my coat…………..

Excitedbride2b · 09/10/2025 19:23

Beau is the masculine version. Bo for a girl

Rainbowcat77 · 09/10/2025 19:24

well it’s not to my taste at all, if you have your heart set on those two names how about Lilah Beau with Beau as a middle name rather than hyphenated?
that at least flows a bit better.

autienotnaughty · 09/10/2025 19:26

Love Beau don’t like Lilah or hyphenated names
