I think it's lovely.

geisha DD2 is the other name you also love.

DaffadownDilly · 19/02/2011 14:28

Meant to say it was an option for us too.

It is that bad. It's dreadful.

Stars22 · 19/02/2011 19:50

I personally really dont like the name. Altho think shortened to Tally is quite nice.

prawnsmum · 19/02/2011 20:27

Love it but it really dosen't matter what other people think if you like!

caz05 · 25/02/2011 10:52

Yep. It really is terrible.

Misfitless · 25/02/2011 20:30

I know the most gorgeous Talullah - I love it!

5DollarShake · 26/02/2011 09:48

It's a daft name, IMO. But it would be a boring world if we all liked the same names!

NinkyNonker · 26/02/2011 19:59

Yes

I really love Tallullah

Tallulah does the hula

it's fab

for a chicken

spottyock · 26/02/2011 22:46

I think Tallulah is OK. Non offensive. See her just as plantsitter describes.

jennifersofia · 26/02/2011 22:52

Not awful, not stupid, lovely! I know one, and she is a really great kid (10).

WishIWasRimaHorton · 26/02/2011 22:56

yep - it truly is that bad.

paulbrom · 27/02/2011 09:51

OP are you getting a lot of disapproval from family? It is a bit of a "stripper's name" though there seem to be lots of little ones around so the associations will get much more positive.
If you love it and have your heart set on it, go for it, but give her a "sensible" name (Grace, Claire, something like that?) too so she'll have a choice and you can silence the haters! If you are a bit unsure you could always register Tallulah as her middle name but call her by it, then she's got her Sunday name for work, etc.
Good luck, people will come round in time (I know someone who picked something much less exotic but got LOADS of grief from PILs, she stuck to her guns and it's fine now).

JiltedJohnsJulie · 27/02/2011 10:09

Truely awful.

meditrina · 27/02/2011 10:09

I love it!

Sadly DH didn't. But my mother (in her 80s) loved it too - she sees it as a good Irish name (sleb trends don't reach her).

SherbetDibDab · 27/02/2011 10:17

I like it. Very feminine but not in a wet, girly sort of a way.
