Beau-Lilah for a girl

[w9828971]

Thoughts?

Is baby's surname Vine? Beau would go quite well

Absolute dumpster fire of a name. Didn’t want to insult hillbillies or trailer park dwellers, many of whom are lovely I’m sure. If the quest is to have a name that absolutely nobody else will have and that kid will have to spell out every single time for their whole life because their parent wants them to be uniquely special, kid won’t thank you. They usually name their own eventual kids Mary and John-type names.

Someone once told me that before you name a child you should consider how it will sound when they're made head of MI6, and yeah I'm not sure this one passes that particular test.

🐮🐄🐄😆

OP has not responded - I suspect it was just a click-bait thread to generate some frothing on a quiet day…

Just awful are you having a boy or a girl and stick with a name that fits that gender, not something you think is unique as unique names are often those that kids get bullied for and other parents think the parents that gave them those names are t*ats

Bo-Tox?

😆

Where have you gone OP??????

😂

I read it as the placename Beaulieu. (pronounced Bewley). Makes about as much sense.

Little Beau-Peep has lost her sheep ...

dumpster fire of a name? WTAF? 😆

Never heard that expression before! 😂

If you are choosing a new name, to change your own to by deed poll, that's fair.

But the child risks having a name that is likely to result in her being teased at school, or not being taken seriously as an adult. So, I would very gently suggest the OP has another think.

I would not have been happy at all if I were named what is proposed. My life as a redhead with NHS glasses, who loved maths the most, was already difficult enough at school! The teasing from being named a word meaning beautiful, would have been horrific.

(Edit for ungainly wording in final paragraph. Sorry!)

Except it's Bo Peep.

Argh thanks for the ear worm:

My, my, my, Beau-Lilah...
Why, oh, why, Beau-Lilah ...

Can we go back to

Anne
Mary
Jane
Susan

And all the other normal names please.

On this thread we are being yoonique.

I'd just go for Delilah

OP is having us on guffaw guffaw

The only way I would do Beau for a girl is short for Isabeau. There are trad ways to get to Bo, too, if you want - Deborah, Bolina, Boleslava, Boann, Boadicea. Lilah (or Leila, Lila, Lyla) is fine on its own.

Tom Jones comes to mind....

It sounds like a breed of whale.

I guess maybe, if I hated my child?

Boleslava?!

Are you sure you are not thinking of bowl of coleslaw?
