Thoughts?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
DumpedByText · 09/10/2025 14:44

Oh please no, just remember they will be a grown up one day!

PreciousTatas · 09/10/2025 14:45

Depends.

How much are you planning to hate your child?

Bearlionfalcon · 09/10/2025 14:45

Why, why, why, Beau Lilah OP?

GentleJadeOP · 09/10/2025 14:45

Sorry but it sounds chavvy

Kept reading it in the voice of the bored teacher in Ferris Bueller’a day off…

”Bueller, Bueller?, Bueller?”

Why, why, why, Beau-Lilah?

Birdy1982 · 09/10/2025 14:47

Short for Isabeau ? That is a pretty name
Beau-Lilah ain’t great tbh - sounds like an STD 🤣🤣🤣

TeeBee · 09/10/2025 14:48

Absolutely fucking awful, and I rarely comment on anyone's name choice.

Hey there Beau-Lilah, what’s it like in New York City?

Homegrownberries · 09/10/2025 14:49

How about Brian-Lillian 😁

Clearinguptheclutter · 09/10/2025 14:50

No. Beau is a specifically masculine name, the male equivalent of Belle (French).
Bo is a girl’s name.
Lilah is fine

😂😂is this a joke with the other thread going on?

LeavesOnTrees · 09/10/2025 14:51

It's awful
Better options :
Isabelle
Isabella
Lila
Isla
Aurelie, if you like a bit French
Bella
Annabelle

AliceMaforethought · 09/10/2025 14:52

Dire.

ChristmasFluff · 09/10/2025 14:52

I prefer Beau-Sele-Chtar

Sosickofarrogance · 09/10/2025 14:52

I like traditional names.

However, it does look pretty written down. I do think your baby might get some teasing though.

Maybe something simpler would be easier for both of you.

TwinklyWrinkly · 09/10/2025 14:53

How do you plan to pronounce it?

Bow lye-la (short 'a' sound at the end)
Bow lye-larr
Bow Lee-la ( (short 'a' sound at the end))
Bow Lee-larr
Bowly Larr

Any which way, no, poor child is going to spend their lives spelling it and pronouncing it for everyone.

freakingscared · 09/10/2025 14:53

Lilah ok but the 2 together ? No it screams chav unless it’s for a pet ?

purpleme12 · 09/10/2025 14:53

It always seems strange to me when Beau is used for a girl when it's french and comes from the masculine version of the word

LondonLady1980 · 09/10/2025 14:53

I can always rely on a Baby Name thread to cheer me up 😁

Carodebalo · 09/10/2025 14:53

So sorry, but no.

Tablesandchairs23 · 09/10/2025 14:54

Lilah is a lovely name. Beautiful is awful.

LadyAsnowt · 09/10/2025 14:54

Sounds like a brand name for a well-sprung mattress.
