No, really don't like it, sounds like a very dim witted child-sorry!!!!!!!

Toothache · 01/04/2009 21:45

Like an internet password! Could catch on.... it would make passwords easier to remember.

willowthewispa · 01/04/2009 21:45

I don't really like it - it's a bit flimsy (and maybe tacky too). Not very sensible on a grown up either imo, I see it quite like Lola.

Tahlia is similar but nicer. Or maybe Talitha?

Ludaloo · 01/04/2009 21:44

love it

lou33 · 01/04/2009 21:39

with a few numbers and symbols too?

Toothache · 01/04/2009 21:38

We could chuck some letters together in a random order and call it a name? That would be pretty original.

lou33 · 01/04/2009 21:38

funnily enough......

LynetteScavo · 01/04/2009 21:37

Pooliwooly.

Do you know anyone called Pooliwooly?

lou33 · 01/04/2009 21:32

i'd like anyone to show me a name that is original

LynetteScavo · 01/04/2009 21:30

It's not chavvy...I'd say it's the kind of name you'd find in Tatler.

ickletickle · 01/04/2009 21:28

its sort of a bit "done" iykwim. lots of people use it because they think its cute and original... it sort of cute in a porn star way and def not original

LynetteScavo · 01/04/2009 21:28

Its' fine with Oliver.

I'm a bit as I'd love a Talullah.

lou33 · 01/04/2009 21:26

it's an old name, native american indian, means bubbling or laughing water

there is a tallulah falls in georgia

and hte actress tallulah bankhead from the 30's too

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 21:25

It's my dds 3rd flipertigibbet name and I'm REALLY glad I didn't make it her first.

Interestingly I also like Lola and I don't feel as strongly anti-that now..

DiamondHead · 01/04/2009 21:21

I don't see why it doesn't go with Oliver. They're fine together, it's not like they rhyme or anything.

lou33 · 01/04/2009 21:18

no it isnt

it just depends how you say it in your head and out loud

Linwin · 01/04/2009 21:06

It was your woman who used to be in corrie and holby city, she called her child that, its quite chavvy imo

Ceolas · 01/04/2009 20:37

Not a name I'd choose

Ronaldinhio · 01/04/2009 20:35

Good name for a WW American bomber though

janeite · 01/04/2009 20:34

Oliver is such a lovely name. Don't like Tallulah at all, sorry.

Leannabanana · 01/04/2009 20:33

i jus think of Jessie Wallace who used this for her daughter and that puts me off....nothing to do with the name....

lou33 · 01/04/2009 20:33

tallulah and oliver

Lou33...Lula is the nickname I would use too, however, I kind of agree with everyone that perhaps it doesn't flow well with Oliver.
