Hello all,

I am very new to this so sorry if my message isn't in the style that your all used to.
I just wanted some help with names as I find people pulled a "ughhh" face or just say "aaaaar how lovelllyyyy " to my names but I would love some true honest opinions!
We love the names Rocco or Eli with the middle name Parker or Talulah with the middle name Poppy for a girl.
We are a young Jewish couple and would like something unusual, we loveddddd the name Noah but its everywhere I turn now.

If you have any other ideas for names please help!!

Thank you all xxx

Not a fan of Rocco really.

Talulah Poppy does have a nice flow to it. Talulah is a bit of a mouthful though, would you shorten it? Tally? Lou?

PickledFanjoCat · 10/10/2012 21:10

No it isn't chavvy, whatever it is you think that means.

Anyway! I really like Noah, biblical names are quite popular now but it's a nice name.

Similar is Jonah?

I like the name rocco too, but if I'm honest it does make me think of madonna

I like poppy more than tallulah I would rather poppy tallulah.

I like Eli best.

MoelFammau · 10/10/2012 21:06

Talulah isn't chavvy. Rocco is pretty classic too, just not in the UK.

There ARE a lot of Noah's. I know 3 and I live in a box.

EarnestDullard · 10/10/2012 21:06

I prefer Eli Parker to Rocco Parker, the latter has a lot of hard 'k' sounds in it.

Talulah isn't a name I'd choose myself, but I think Talulah Poppy has a nice ring to it.

Awful, just awful! Please don't!!

MoelFammau · 10/10/2012 21:05

Oh, saw you wanted ideas....

Can suggest

Talulah Fern
Talulah Marigold
Talulah Raine
Talulah Sage

rocco - awful (are you having a baby or a chocolate bar?)

eli - is that boy or girl? its ok.

parker - nice

talulah - awful, chavvy.

poppy - lovely!

noah - lovely (not overly used just yet bit is becoming more popular)

peachypips · 10/10/2012 21:02

Like all of them except Tallulah! A bit of a mouthful...

MoelFammau · 10/10/2012 21:01

Rocco is really nice!

Actually they're all nice. I'm not really into Poppy because it sounds a bit cutesy to me, but it's a lovely name. I'm just a tomboy at heart, that's all.
