Yep mistake well spotted ladies- we were thinking Tally too as a nn? Hadn't even thought of the name before today and it struck me. It's in the running with India and Martha.

As is "No one south of Heaven's Gonna treat you finer, Tallulah had her training in North Carolina"?

I think it might be a burden.

I had a Tallulah in my class at school. She was lovely. It was actually her middle name, her first name was even more barmy.

I wouldn't use it myself, but it could be worse.

Dreadful. And I don't think it's all that posh anymore either which is a good thing if you're not yourself. loads of actresses chose it about five years ago. after tallulah banks? not sure. some actress who started an acting school. I'm not fond of Tabitha either. Tabby and Tally. They sound like pandas.

Tallulah is gorgeous.I love Martha too but not too keen on India.I once taught twins named Indya and Chyna [yes honestly those spellings] and it has put me off a bit :)

Oh I love old 'flapper' names. I used to work with a woman called Dixie - she was very posh in that aristo 'down at heel' way. Drove a battered Land Rover and was always covered in dog hairs.

but Martha would be in doing the dishes while Tallulah would be out having fun, dancing on tables etc.

Thanks ladies, mixed bag with some interesting reasoning. Nah, we're not posh but just like the name.
