Love it but it really dosen't matter what other people think if you like!

I personally really dont like the name. Altho think shortened to Tally is quite nice.

LetThereBeRock · 19/02/2011 18:24

It is that bad. It's dreadful.

MelinaM · 19/02/2011 14:50

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 14:28

Meant to say it was an option for us too.

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 14:28

OliveMalay · 19/02/2011 12:37

The chicken in the Maisy books is a perfectly nice Tallulah though :)

SE13Mummy · 19/02/2011 12:35

Tallulah is the chicken in the Maisy books. That's what the name makes me think of but then again, I do know of a 6-year-old whose middle name is Tallulah for precisely that reason...

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 19/02/2011 12:27

It's a great name. Tallulah Bankhead was an awesome woman (if not a role model) - great actress, great wit.

BelligerentGhoul · 19/02/2011 12:26

Do YOU like it? That's really all that matters, you know! :)

It's not awful...unless your surname is Bell.

BelligerentGhoul · 19/02/2011 12:22

Oh, you've already named her? Why are you asking?

BelligerentGhoul · 19/02/2011 12:21

Yes - it's bad. And she will need training in North Carolina.

cocoachannel · 19/02/2011 12:19

It reminds me of Bugsy Malone and particularly Tallulah's song.
