I love the name, but feel it's a bit too loaded. Tallulahs have to be dead sexy, don't they? Like Giselles have to be ethereal and feminine, and Bellas have to be beautiful...

How about Talia?

euracantha · 06/01/2011 22:14

I know a Tallulah and a Kizzi[sisters]spooky.

mumoftoomany · 06/01/2011 22:18

I really dislike Tallulah - it doesn't sound sexy/feminine at all imo - almost the opposite and quite comical.

onimolap · 06/01/2011 22:25

I love it!

(but DH vetoed it, and to be fair, it doesn't sit well with surname).

Rhubarbgarden · 06/01/2011 22:27

...does the hula

ShoppingDays · 06/01/2011 22:30

Love it! :)

Simmylou · 06/01/2011 22:30

It's quite a pretty look and sound but unfortunately, it's too much of a character name IMO. It's heavy and tired, like a perfume from the 80's, once loved, but now unsophisticated compared to modern fragrances.

Once different and beautiful but now a has-been name best consigned to the "pet's names" corner.

scurryfunge · 06/01/2011 22:33

Common as fuck quite popular

LetThereBeRock · 06/01/2011 22:39

It's awful.

rachxx · 06/01/2011 22:45

there were less than a hundred named last year,so didnt think it was common?

OK, not common in the popular sense but common in the attributed to a certain bracket of society sense Grin

sharbie · 06/01/2011 22:54

doesn't jessie wallace have a tallulah

LetThereBeRock · 06/01/2011 22:57

I'll have that song from Bugsy Malone stuck in my head for days now.

Deciduousblonde · 07/01/2011 10:28

Indeed...Bugsy Malone! I quite like it though, and there's plenty of nicknames to choose from too.

theagedparent · 07/01/2011 10:32

I have a Tallulah and am most certainly not common x x

SirBoobAlot · 07/01/2011 12:34

Terrible.

MarniesMummy · 07/01/2011 12:37

It's a winner! Just out there and edgy enough, but people ought to be able to spell it.

(Let's just hope she doesn't mind a lifetime of Bugsy Malone being sung to her!)

ditavonteesed · 07/01/2011 12:40

it is my next child (which I am not ever having but you can still dream) name.

diddl · 07/01/2011 12:56

Don´t hate it, but prefer Tabitha.

MarniesMummy · 07/01/2011 14:48

ditvonteesed - it is my next child (which I am not ever having but you can still dream) name.

I've got one of those too. He's a little boy called Inigo Daniel,(or Daniel Inigo depending on whether DP wins in his quest to cll his son Daniel). Grin

He's a lovely wee thing and doesn't keep me up all night, need his nappy changed or demand my attention constantly.

swanandduck · 07/01/2011 15:47

Sorry, I think it sounds ridiculous on both a baby and an adult.

Komondor · 07/01/2011 16:04

You have got to be stunning to pull the name off. On someone quite plain looking I think Tallulah would be rediculous.

MistletoeMush · 07/01/2011 16:08

I quite like it esp with Tally as a nm. Its quite unusual but not completely unheard of and suits both adults and children imo.

ShatnersBassoon · 07/01/2011 16:13

It doesn't pass the toilet cleaner/Prime Minister test.

I know one and I always think of that 'Toora loora toora loo rei aye' bit from Come On Eileen when I have to say her name. Her parents probably shouldn't put her in denim dungarees so often.
