Lol

LemonJellyLegs · 09/10/2025 19:30

No, but what about Jimberly??

Charlize43 · 09/10/2025 19:32

Is it for a drag queen?

That’s unkind. But it made me laugh!!!

mind you I say GeeooOOrge.

Daisymay2 · 09/10/2025 19:33

My immediate thought was the car museum in Hampshire?

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.

Or just go for Labubu.

Do Australians still talk about Bogans?

You could spell it Beau-Ghan.

EdithBond · 09/10/2025 19:36

Not a name I’d like to saddle anyone with.

I’m not a fan of hyphenated names. Too much of a mouthful.

I’d go for one or the other and use the other one as a middle name.

Why do people have to use the ‘c’ word? It’s really so offensive. It’s a Romani word, so shouldn’t be used in a derogatory way.

If you mean ‘people who I consider to be lower class than me’, then just say it.

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.

Given the reason for the thread is for MNers to get on their high horses about chavvy names, I wouldn’t feel too sorry for the OP.

BCBird · 09/10/2025 19:44

Beau should be for a boy and Belle for a girl if u must use them. I remember being in a shop where a woman was called Beau- noooo

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/10/2025 19:44

Lilah Beau would be a lot nicer or better still Lilah Belle

CherrieTomaties · 09/10/2025 19:46

My friend has just had a Lilah. (Pronounced Lie-la, like the Oasis song)

Beau could be nice a middle name though? Lilah Beau?

But Beau-Lilah doesn’t have a nice ring to it at all, sorry.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 09/10/2025 18:44

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

Feel really bad for a child I know whose hyphenated chav name ends -Blu. She was born before Bonnie Blue was a thing, but now 😳😳😳

RaininSummer · 09/10/2025 19:48

I'm sorry but it doesn't even sound nice.

BitOutOfPractice · 09/10/2025 19:48

another shit and run thread?

Though judging by the totally justifiably harsh responses I’m not surprised.

@w9828971 it’s a terrible name. Truly awful.

PurpleChrayn · 09/10/2025 19:48

Awful. Beau is masculine.

Hyphens are chavvy.

sanityisamyth · 09/10/2025 19:50

Bumdrops · 09/10/2025 14:10

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

OP - what are your thoughts ?

Again, first post nails it. It’s awful.

PinkyFlamingo · 09/10/2025 19:53

You actually can't be serious? You must be on the wind up 😂

3isthemagicnumber3 · 09/10/2025 19:53

It sounds like you are blowing a raspberry with a very big, wet tongue.

Toadetta · 09/10/2025 19:56

This instantly made me think of the jungle book, and after a few mins realised it sounds like a combination of baloo and bagera

Anyway, I wouldn't

GaIadriel · 09/10/2025 19:56

I'd probs rather be called Beau-Selecta. 🤣

WestwardHo1 · 09/10/2025 20:00

Was this an attempt at a Balonz thread?

NameChange0101010101 · 09/10/2025 20:00

Bloody awful. They'll never get a job interview (unless the job is a stripper)

That's the boy twin's name. Beau lilah and Balonz.

TheHillIsMine · 09/10/2025 20:02

It jars with the h on the end apart from all the other obvious issues with it.
