Two Ls is better I think but lovely-I used to teach a Tallulah and she was known as Lulu. Sweet girl. Not that that has any bearing!

I've always thought Tallulah sounds quite exotic dancer-y but apparently there was an ancient Irish saint of that name! Maybe she used to dance for the monks and then saw the (holy) light...

Can't hear it without thinking of (and probably singing) the bugsy malone song, but I guess that won't be so popular in her age group?

Salty lounge singer and hostess I thought.

It makes me think of Bugatti Malone but I really love that film so it's not such an awful thing!!

Lulu is a cute name too.

I can't imagine the green light being given to an 11 year old playing that character these days. It was a bit ambiguous and definitely very adult.

Nope, really don't like it.

I don't really like it either. It isn't the worst name but not one I would ever pick.

I don't like it because it doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

I think Elon Musk's ex-wife is a Tallulah.

I think it's a nice name. Would never use it myself though, it's my mum's cat name Grin

Couple of girls at ds's school called Tallulah and they're very sweet and not chavvy at all.

I've always thought it was a joke name for a pet or a doll. It's ridiculously frilly. I think you'd struggle to be taken seriously with a moniker like that. I wonder if the British registrars would let you have 'Does-The-Hula-In-Hawaii' for a middle name? The Kiwis didn't go for it.

I think it's a lovely name, it's one of my all time favourites.

TheNotoriousRBG · 21/01/2017 21:29

I love it but wasn't brave enough to use it. Tally and Lulu are both cute nicknames. In the end it was just too cutesy. I'd go for a stronger name.

We had a hamster called Tallulah. She was a supercilious little bit hectic unhelpful, sorry
