After my partner shunning all 50 names on my list (except Tallula) and after me cringing at his few offerings (except Eden) we are now down to these 2 names.I love them both. Just don't know which way to go. So here I am.......

I love eden. If I'd have had my way My DS would have had eden as his middle name.

dd2 usually has hers shortened to lula

lou33 · 14/09/2008 22:28

there is another baby name thread regarding the name tallulah, and on there the words hooker and chav have been used too

i think some people can be a bit ott in their opinions on names when a simple "i prefer x,y,z" would suffice

I don't think Tallula is slutty at all, I think it's sweet.

Also there are lots of cute shorty versions in there to plunder; Tally, Lulu, Lula.

I love both. One of my good mates is called Eden .

That's a bit strong. it doesn't seem slutty at all to me. I think it's more cute.

clearly my daughter is destined to be a slut a hooker a chav or possibly a celebrity

just as well i have a thick skin and dont give a shit what anyone else thinks of my choice of names

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 14/09/2008 22:21

ooh. sorry lou33 didn't read other posts before I piped up.

TheNaughtiestGirlIsaMonitor · 14/09/2008 22:20

Eden is nms, but I like Edie. (prefer Edith mind you)
but Tallula is a slutty name. are you going to have a slut or a baby!?

ethanchristopher · 14/09/2008 22:19

eden reminds my of elphaba (the wicked withc of the west from wizard of oz)

cause eden espinosa plays her

i dont really like either but out of the two i prefer tallulah (or tallie?)

lou33 · 14/09/2008 22:16

and she doesnt look or sound or act like a hooker/chav/whatever insult anyone wants to attach to her name

lou33 · 14/09/2008 22:15

i have a tallulah , so that would be my choice

MingMingtheWonderPet · 14/09/2008 22:12

eden

LobstersLass · 14/09/2008 22:12

Tallulah sounds like a hooker.

Eden is lovely.

Depends how you want to spell it? Need to decide on the name first. thought it would be easier that way if shortening to Lula.
