Beau-Lilah for a girl

[w9828971]

Thoughts?

Yes, a baleen whale.

That could be a nice twist on Eileen : Bay-leen

OP, ignore al the snobbery. It's different, and she'd have the choice of using the whole thing, or just Beau, or just Lilah.

I know Beau is a boys name because beau means handsome in French, but we are not French, and it looks like the first half of Beautiful to an English eye. You use Beau for her if you want! It looks and sounds really feminine. I always really cringed when friends used it for a boy. Conjures up images of a sickly, delicate, boy of yesteryear with a lace ruffle around his neck! 😂

PSA: It would be pronounced Bow Ly-la.

Bloody awful. Get a grip and think of your child !!

lol like that one this def does not pass that test sounds more strip club then MI6 lol

No.

Jam-Beau-Lilah?

Layla is nice.

They're both nice enough names on their own, but combining them doesn't work well

Said Bumdrops. 😂

Sounds like a disease

Truly awful will be mispelt/mishear Have you been on the lemonades when you thought of this?

Oh dear, no, just no.

Me and my friend have a running joke about double-barreled Christian names. We put them into the sentence "Iya our - luv!" (said in a Shameless/Corrie accent - and before anyone starts, I'm from the North-West myself) and amuse ourselves.

I can't wait to show her a screenshot of this thread.

"Iya our Beau-Lilah luv!"

"it looks like the first half of Beautiful to an English eye"

It really doesn't. It looks like it's pronounced i.e. Beau, to rhyme with Blow.

No dont do it

Sorry, it’s not a name. It’s just a series of letters. Are you in an abusive relationship?.

Just no! .... poor kid having to go through life lumbered with that.

No, sorry. Beau for a girl maybe. I know a girl nicknamed Bo and it’s cute. There aren’t many names that can be double-barrelled like that and the Lilah adds nothing. She will just be called Beau so why not just name her that and Lila as a middle name? I actually quite like Beau Isla.

Absolutely not. Awful made-up silly name and Beau is always masculine.

Chuffing hell OP !!, That's so awful, poor kid

Sadly I would be tempted to use Beau-na-na as a nickname….

That sounds like a whisky.

I would have said so

No.

I teach a lot of children with hyphenated names. By Y9 they’ve always ditched one half and are furious when anyone uses their full name. I’ve had some embarrassing moments with parents who still insist on the full Elsie-May or whatever, despite the fact that their child hates it. The same often goes for cumbersome double-barrelled surnames - by the end of school they’re just putting one on exercise books, despite what it says on the register.

Remember, names are for children, not for the parents.
