On the off chance this isn't rage bait - it's a bad name. Beau means handsome (masculine) in French, double barrel first names are dated, having a one syllable followed by two syllables flows badly and the two names next to each other look bad.

It's a horrid name. However, I don't mind 'Beau' for a girl, it's quite nice I think. The hyphenation of Beau-Lilah is however horrendous and as PP have said, incredibly chavvy.

Sorry but I really don’t like it. How about Delilah or Boudicca?

manicpixieschemegirl · 09/10/2025 14:55

What about Beau-den? Or Beau-Peep?

VickyEadieofThigh · 09/10/2025 14:56

Go full ridiculous and call her Beau-Narno.

Middle name could be Lost-My-Sheep

I work with children and it’s one of those that we would roll our eyes at.

Also I hate hyphenated names, no one’s got time for that.

Truly dreadful

Dreadful. Beau (Bo) with anything is dreadful. All I see is this. And I HATE Craig David's dreadful repetitive songs more than anyone else's.

Only if her brother is called Balonz.

God, they are just as bad! 😂

mmmarmalade · 09/10/2025 15:03

You may as well call them
Pretentious-Moi?

popcornandpotatoes · 09/10/2025 15:03

That is a terrible terrible name

Cucy · 09/10/2025 15:03

Beau is one of my favourite names but although some names are unisex, I think this is just for males.

CelestialGazer · 09/10/2025 15:03

FunnysInLaJardin · 09/10/2025 14:11

pronounced like Delilah?

Why, why, why…?

DreamOfTheRarebitFiend · 09/10/2025 15:05

It makes me think of Beulah. Please don't name a child this.

Letsskidaddle · 09/10/2025 15:05

Is she Balonz’s sister?

MrsDoylesTeaTray · 09/10/2025 15:05

Awful! She’ll get nicknamed B.O. Lilo

nellietheellie75 · 09/10/2025 15:06

🤣

Is this related to another thread posted today about types of baby names?

DueToAnUnfortunateWerewolfIncident · 09/10/2025 14:47

Why, why, why, Beau-Lilah?

🤣

Calliopespa · 09/10/2025 15:07

Letsskidaddle · 09/10/2025 15:05

Is she Balonz’s sister?

I think she just might be.

'Pretentious' is not the word that sprung to mind with this name.

Ooh what about Beau-Selecta?

Beau-Peep is fab.

A nice updated spelling for an old classic.
