I can't hear Tallulah without thinking Jodie Foster in Bugsy Malone . Don't do it.

No,no and a thousand times no. It sounds like a stripper,and it's an awful name.

I really liked it and then heard someone call it out at the shops and it just sounded a bit pretentious somehow? Sooooo I wouldn't go for it.

Also like Delilah - similar syllables and "lah" ending.

ooo I really like delilah, and that gets away from the chavvy/stripper connections with tallulah... I think that might be my new favourite!

I love Tallulah, I don't think it's 'chavy or pretentious' at all, I think more of Tallulah Bankhead than Miss Foster. It's a Native American Indian name meaning leaping water, if you want chavy let's talk Jasmine, Evie and LolaGrin

Delilah's fab too yummySmile

I like it but I would seriously avoid it. I think people would make lots of stereotyped assumptions about her. You could get around this by using it as a mn and then if she wants to use it when she's older, and she can get around any stereotyping ie she just doesn't give a f then fine...
