Beau-Lilah for a girl

[w9828971]

Thoughts?

What about Beau-Dazzle?

Or Beau-Dacious?

Yes; pretty sure I'm thinking of a traditional Czech girls' name. I'd be very unlikely to personally use it (it's pretty old fashioned), but I'd be even more unlikely to use Beau-Lilah. If you like to be appalled by names that sound cabbagy in English, though, you might like the Polish version Bolesława (or Bolesław, for a boy) even more! 🥬

Not a fan, sorry.

Did you mean 'it's not quite as hideous'?

Yeah lilah belle is awful too.

What about Anna, OP? @w9828971

Please tell me she's also a "proper cockney", that would be great

Boleslaw! That's a great lesson in the fact that names are the last things to successfully go global in this world!

Because we have all been so rude op, and in case you were and still are - after this onslaught - fond of the idea of Beau-Lilah, how about the following tweaks. I can see there are some aspects of the name that are quite sweet.

1. Just drop the hyphen. It isn't helping.
2. The name Lila is actually really quite nice. I prefer it without the h on the end, because somehow adding it gives it a shouty, lascivious pirate vibe: Li-LAHRR. Lila is a bit softer somehow, but you could of course keep the h.
3. The worst bit about Beau is the masculine adjective business. How about Bo for the same sound?
4. Then, having dropped the hyphen, would you be happy to reverse the order and have Lila Bo Surname? I think that's not awful at all, but keeps the nicest aspects of Beau-Lilah.
5. Lila Bea Surname would be even better? Lila Beatrice I really like - but i suspect now I'm going way too far off brief ... But Lila Bo Surname works I think?

Christ the poor kid! 😂 That's just setting your kid up to be teased for life! Some people shouldn't be allowed to name kids 🙁

The name Lila is actually really quite nice. It's not. It's not awful but it makes me think of Lilo, and it's too close to Lily, Isla, Lola and Mila.

I prefer it without the h on the end, Me too.

why is girly a good thing? Just because the child is born a girl doesn’t mean they have to be girly.

Steady on. She's only countering the claim that Beau is heavily masculine in all respects.

We really need the laugh emoji back again!

You really have to force the pause between the two names otherwise it sounds like Bolilah. But I can’t say I’m a fan of calling a girl Beau or using a hyphen. There are so many beautiful, strong, traditional or modern names out there…

Oh dear. Maybe think again.

Beau-Nidol
Beau-Jest
Beau-Tighe

Totally agree with this. I haven’t cringed so much since Bianca and Tiffany

@MeetMyCat , Bianca is a Shakespearean name. Tiffany is a surname.

What is wrong with Bianca?
