I am starting to really like this name, Tallulah. what do you think?

Other options are Carmen or Violet (too popular?). but Tallulah is my fave :)

When DS is being a drama llama we say 'ok Tallulah, keep your wig on...' Must be thinking of Tallulah Bankhead.

I like it.

Natalia, Aurora, Amanda and Delilah are nice too, with a similar rhythm.

I really like it, think Lula or Lulu is a really cute NN too. Shame my DP wrote it off as soon as I suggested it!

I like it Smile

Don't like it. A silly frilly little girl's name. Couldn't imagine or take seriously an adult called Tallulah.

DramaAlpaca · 03/03/2017 20:27

It's too frilly for me too.

And reminds me of the song in Bugsy Malone, and the one about Tallulah does the Hula...

Not my style.

Prefer Carmen or Violet.

yes, there is a duck called Tallulah in the Maisy books.

Ah-hah! That would be it. Smile

I love it. DS2 would have been Tallulah if he was a girl.

Runningissimple · 03/03/2017 20:13

I know a Tallulah! It's a great name. Can also be shortened to Tal.

SuperBeagle · 03/03/2017 20:12

I don't dislike it... but it kind of reminds me of a duck. Was there a duck character name Tallulah somewhere? Hmm

I think I prefer the spelling Talulah, like Elon Musk's wife.

AshesandDust · 03/03/2017 20:10

It's a lovely name and I really like Lula and Tally as nick-names

EsmesBees · 03/03/2017 19:54

On its own it's a great name. But all I hear is the song from Bugsy Malone. So couldn't use it for that reason.

I adore Violet but it's popularity put me off too.
