Tallulah or Jessica?

[SweetTea]

Our baby is due any time soon and we are still not decided on a girls name (have chosen a boys).

Jessica we like as it's traditional and flexible (able to shorten), but maybe a little too 'safe' as a choice.

We also like Tallulah, again an old traditional name and flexible, but we are not sure if it's a little bit too unusual.

Please shared some opinions with me to help us decide!

I like Jessica - Tallulah is abit 'celeb baby' IYKWIM.

[belgo]

Jessica.

Tallulah is the sort of name I would have hated to have been given.

[dizzydixies]

jessica for me too

[CountessDracula]

Jessica

Tallulah is a goldfish name IME

[tortoiseSHELL]

Definitely Jessica.

[GooseyLoosey]

Think Jessica will age much better than Tallulah. Not sure a 25 year old Tallulah filling in job applications would thank you too much.

[FAWKEOFF]

[ska]

and loads of celebs have used it - isnt demi moore's dd2 one?

I never liked Tallulah at all but now know a lovely little tot with that name and it really suits her. Gets shorted to Lulah. Jessicas I know get Jess and Jessie so as long as you like both shortened versions. I wouldn't think of it as "safe". At the end of the day, once the baby is there and becomes a little person in their own right, their name will become part of who they are, whatever anyone thinks of your choices.

Sorry, round here there are a few Tallulah's and it is considered fairly chavvy. I know that word is hated, but there we go. So definitely Jessica.

[cyteen]

I like both actually. Jessica and all its short versions are lovely, Tallulah is v cool and can be Tally or Lula or Lulu or Tal or whatever.

[branflake81]

Jessica. Tallulah is really.....not to my taste. And its nicknames are fairly childish.

[umberella]

Jessica for me too. Don't like Tallulah at all actually.

[pickie]

Jessica for me too (I have a Jessie though). Tallulah is very Maisy Mouse and trend sensitive imo

[AtheneNoctua]

Jessica

Tallulah will always remind me of Demi Moore and her kids' weird names.

[Lizzylou]

Very definitely Jessica.

[belcantavinissima]

oooh no.

tallulah!!!! i think jessica is a bit boring. sorry. sorry if offended anyone. but then i am partial to odd names

[AbbeyA]

Jessica-lovely
Tallulah-NO!

[VictorianSqualor]

Jessica.
Tallulah just makes me sing 'my name is tallulah my first rule of fun....'

[jess1396]

Jessica, its classy and everyone i know always thinks its a mature name.. but most people call me jess, only use jessica if i get shouted at or someone is angry at me..

Lets face it, if we all start calling our kids strange names like celebs, whats the world going to come to? like calling baby moses or apple. just silly

But it be your choice..

good luck

I really like Tallulah but I don't know if I'd be brave enough to use it.

Jessica, in my opinion, is too boring and ordinary.

[Squirdle]

Have to say I like Tallulah best. Sooooo many Jessica's around.
