And I love Bugsy Malone, but she may have to put up with a lot of people singing that song to her. And as a Michelle I can assure you it isn't at all fun.

I don't like it at all. And it doesn't suit an adult. It fails the prime minister/lawyer test imho.

I love this name, but dh would not allow it (and we're having a boy). Think it sounds fine with Oliver although Oliver is more traditional and Tally/ Tallulah bit more out there. So what? Both lovely names.

Like Tahlia too. Love many girls names.

Like it but don't think it goes with Oliver (specially cos it would end up Tally and Ollie!)

I love Tallulah......probably because of Jodie Foster in Bugsey Malone!

RachieB · 31/03/2009 10:37

Not keen anyway, and def not with Oliver

Talia / Tahlia is nice

I know an adult Tallulah and it really suits her.

I think it's cute but not sure it's a name you'd want as an adult.

Also Jessie Wallace from EastEnders called her kid that and I'm sure some other chavvy sleb did too.

I love it.
