Talulah

Or Tallulah? What do you think of this name? I adore it but my mum says it's a stripper name. I know two Tallulah's, one in her twenties and one in her teens. Both are lovely, sweet girls from cool arty families and I think this has made me unable to see the stripper thing? The only famoie Tallulah's I can think of are Riley and Willis and neither of them is stripper-ish either. Am I the only one who has positive connotations with this name? Works beautifully with my husband's culture as well and we were keen for a name that would work in both cultures.

Probably go for something more classic as a middle name like Violet or Beatrice. Would this work?

Thoughts, anyone?

Great name for a cat or a guinea pig.

Ok for a toddler.

Not so great for a woman.

I like it! If your dd doesn't she can just go by Lu. What about delilah? I think that has a similar sound/feel to it.

We named our cat Tallulah. I kind of love it - wouldn't name a child that myself but have at it, it's pretty and fun and rather glam.

My DM said "if you name that baby Tallulah, I'll never talk to you again" 😁 (said in her 'telephone hyacinth bucket voice!) DM died 7 years ago, DD is 10 with the middle name Tallulah. I adore it, but loved DM so didn't want to risk it (tongue in cheek)!

I love it!

Ipanema01 · 26/12/2018 18:01

I tally like Tallulah, our Labrador was called Tallulah but I’d still use it!

HermioneWeasley · 26/12/2018 11:32

It’s a no from me, and I would wonder what the child’s Parents were thinking. If you must use it, at least spell it correctly which is Tallulah.

BigFatBloomers · 26/12/2018 11:27

I love the name Tallulah. Always have. I’d go for it.

Belindabauer · 26/12/2018 10:51

Awful.

CloserIAm2Fine · 25/12/2018 20:20

I really like it but I do think of the song from Bugsy Malone

Stormwhale · 25/12/2018 20:18

I loved it before I fell pregnant. Now I am I hate it and I can't work it out. It was definitely at the top of my list, but now it just sounds cheap.

Honeybee79 · 25/12/2018 20:15

I always think of Bugsy Malone too. I wouldn't.

Sophronia · 24/12/2018 23:51

I like it!

Twisique · 24/12/2018 10:29

As a sibling for Lorelei or to change her name to?

mabelstanley · 24/12/2018 09:50

I like it Smile

BikeRunSki · 24/12/2018 09:25

I rather like it, although i associate it immediately with Bugsy Malone. I know a 7 yo Tallulah, known as Lula.

81Byerley · 24/12/2018 09:22

I love it!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 24/12/2018 09:21

Ridiculous

WereYouHareWhenIWasFox · 24/12/2018 09:20

I love Tallulah, I know 3!

Neverunderfed · 24/12/2018 09:20

I just can't imagine a grown up Tallulah. Maybe she'd shorten it to Lulu or Tally

Girlundercover · 24/12/2018 09:17

I like it but would never use it.

Also like Tabitha maybe.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 24/12/2018 09:15

Mine name is Tallulah...... The song from Bugsy Malone, it's a no from me.

abcriskringle · 24/12/2018 09:12

I have taught 3 girls called Tallulah over the last couple of years. I like it!

n0ne · 24/12/2018 09:07

I know a baby Tallulah! I really like it

canibehereifimnotamum · 24/12/2018 09:01

I love it
