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

Stick an e on the end to feminize it.

Balonze-Lilah

Sounds like a name from a porn movie.

Ghastly.

Beau is a male name, French for handsome.
Hyphen, yuck, just no.

Lilah ... too many spelling/pronunciation hazards.
Overall, too try-to-hard yooneek and chavtastic.

Greysowhat · 09/10/2025 20:13

I like Beau. I like Lilah. But Beau-Lilah.... nah

Balonze-Lilah

Sounds like the French for balloon !!

Rosscameasdoody · 09/10/2025 20:17

Beau-T Mc Beau-T face.

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

My friend has a daughter called Beau. She keeps getting it written Bo.

Superhansrantowindsor · 09/10/2025 20:23

Too much like bleurgh to me.
like the noise someone makes when they are sick.

Cara707 · 09/10/2025 20:24

Beau is a male name

Jollyhockeysticks1 · 09/10/2025 20:30

Would you employ a Catherine/Emily/Hannah/Rachel/Charlotte/or a Beau-Lilah? Giving her a god-awful name such as that is setting her up for failure and to be the subject of ridicule in every aspect of her life. Can you imagine a Dr Beau-Lilah?

NewHome2026 · 09/10/2025 20:33

Awful

PGmicstand · 09/10/2025 20:34

No. Please don't.

21ZIGGY · 09/10/2025 20:35

I think we can all assume given op's failure to come back that she was thinking of calling her baby this

WhisperingAngelisnotbad · 09/10/2025 20:36

Belle is the feminine of beau, as I recall, and has some of the same sounds.

Or Bella?

Belinda? - which also has 3 syllables? Could be shortened to Belle or Bella later by the child, or to Lin or or Lindy or Linda?

Or Tallulah? which also sounds not dissimilar, with 3 syllables?

jollygreenpea · 09/10/2025 20:36

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Why would anyone be so cruel to a child.

TwinklyStork · 09/10/2025 20:38

Oh fuck no, that’s hideous. Are you a particularly chavvy family that you think it’s nice?

fluffiphlox · 09/10/2025 20:40

That’s a scratter name if ever I heard one.

Spookyspaghetti · 09/10/2025 20:40

Rosscameasdoody · 09/10/2025 20:17

Beau-T Mc Beau-T face.

Oh dear, I can’t imagine the op will be back. 😆 (sorry op)

In terms of vaguely sensible alternatives, Blue is very popular now so
Blue-Delilah
Delilah-Blue
Layla
Lola
Leah
Leona

I thought the Starbucks idea further up was great. I’ve got a mildly out there name that I usually have to spell out so end up giving my DPs name.

MrsDoubtfire1 · 09/10/2025 20:40

Why not just call the child Lilah which is very pretty. Remember, she has to live with it for the rest of her life. This is not about you but about her.

Contrarymary30 · 09/10/2025 20:44

Poor baby 👶

RaraRachael · 09/10/2025 20:46

Just don't saddle your child with this monstrosity of a "name".
I don't like either name, but hyphenated it's too awful for words.
