God, they are just as bad! 😂

I mean I don’t like them either, but I wouldn’t say as bad… 😂

All I think of is Bueller, as in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', I know it's pronounced differently....Or bowler as in a bowler hat...Beau is a boy's name for a start and the other half Lilah, makes me wonder where the rest of the name is as it's similar to Delilah. Your child has to grow up into an adult with whatever name you choose. This is two mishmash names put together, that don't work. Please don't saddle your child with this name.

Lilah-Belle is much nicer

KimTheresPeopleThatAreDying · 09/10/2025 15:45

Wind them up and watch them go, eh, OP?

DiscoBob · 09/10/2025 15:46

Pronounced 'Bohlyler'? Sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Probably not unless your permanent residence is a caravan

Grammarnut · 09/10/2025 15:47

Bad idea. Beau is a male adjective meaning handsome (not that it matters)! and Lila doesn't go with it at all. I am down on people saying names are chavvy and will not do so; this name just doesn't work and sounds more like something you use in the bath or put on your face with a couple of cucumber slices. Sorry, don't like it.

Figgygal · 09/10/2025 15:47

I won't be as rude as some others but its an absolute no from me too

NearlyChocLogTime · 09/10/2025 15:48

Nowadays it seems any combination of the letters of the alphabet can be a child's name.

Bonkers

Redolent of ante-bellum Georgia?

chaosmaker · 09/10/2025 15:48

@w9828971 why would you name a child 'be a liar'?

Bloozie · 09/10/2025 15:50

Every aspect of that name needs spelling out, every single time. There is no way anyone could ever hazard a guess of how to spell it. It will sound like 'Bowlieluh'.

Or actually 'Bowleeluh'.

Which is another good point. You can't hear it and confidently spell it, and you can't read it and confidently say it either.

Is it Bow-Lee-Luh? Bow-Lie-Luh?

It's also a male and female name smashed together.

I'm out.

Womanofcustard · 09/10/2025 15:50

Please make it stop!

PumpkinSeasonOctober · 09/10/2025 15:51

Chavvy!! Go with Lilah.

Not for a real life person.

UnctuousUnicorns · 09/10/2025 15:52

Agree with pp - just stick with Beulah if you like that sound.

Unpleasant.

I wish parents would think really carefully about giving their child an ‘unusual’ name. My first name isn’t English and although I call myself by a shortened version of it it still gets used a lot and everyone, except those that speak the language it originated, mispronounce it. School was a nightmare and I was bullied as a result of it. So OP, no, if you like it that much, change your own name to it.

Ellie56 · 09/10/2025 15:54

Nope. Just nope.

PrestonHood121 · 09/10/2025 15:55

This is a wind up, right?

Yesshadow · 09/10/2025 15:57

Sounds like a vomit

SardinesOnGingerbread · 09/10/2025 15:57

I slightly don't believe you.
