Using Talitha: parents must N-Dubz fans with lisps?

[DaySleeper]

Is Talitha presently usable in the UK in an N-Dubz and X Factor environment?

It's on my shortlist, but this horrifying thought just occurred.

[DaySleeper]

• Must be

Yes Iv'e just said it a few times out loud and tulisa with a lisp is exactly how it sounds sorry.

[DaySleeper]

Oh catastrophe. It's supposed to be reminiscent of Talita Getty, not bad tatts and hair extensions

[AppleOgies]

I used to know a Talitha at school... She was a new zealander. I thought it was a lovely name. People were forever assuming it was a typo and her name must be Tabitha.

It is a bit Tulisa xfactory -sorry...

[OutragedFromLeeds]

Yes it's def Tulisa with a speech impediment. Sorry.

[goralka]

didn't Talitha Getty die of a heroin overdose?

[Pasiphae]

I know one, who uses her middle name instead.

I like the name, and stuff the N-Dubz fans!

[InNeedOfBrandy]

What about Talia instead?

[EdithWeston]

I have no idea about N-Dubz or X-factor.

I think Talitha is a lovely name, and that its Biblical associations will far outlast a current sound-a-bit-alike.
