Tallulah

[franktheskank]

Thoughts? I like itreminds me of bushy malone

It reminds me of Bugsy Malone too, but I really dislike it. Sorry.

Any reason why? Just the general sound or does it conjure up something in your head?

I don't like it because it reminds me of the whole Tallulah-does-the-hula-from-hawaii thing. The nn tally I do quite like though.

I like the actual name as I loved Tallulah from Bugsy Malone but I wouldn't use it for one of my children. Mainly because I always thought Tallulah was a hooker so the name has that association.

Gummy goddess what's tallulah does the hula from Hawaii?

For some reason I always think Tallulah Bankhead when I hear the name. Bearing in mind she died when I was only 2 I'm not sure why.

But yes, Tallulah does the hula etc etc. Not keen I'm afraid.

This - there was a little girl in NZ named this, different spelling of Tallulah, who was temporarily removed from her parents until they changed her name as at 9 years old she was miserable with it.

I probably would have liked Tallulah if I didn't have that information in my head, but I may be in the minority and nobody else would even think it.

The only tallulah I've known absolutely LOVED her name, her sister Amy was really jealous it wasn't her name.

I love it! I wouldn't use it, but always feel a bit happy when I hear of one.

I actually know 4 too aged 22, 21, 15 and 12. So not hugely uncommon either.

Tallulah and Lola are the most popular names at my children's school by far.

For me it's a bit of a mouthful.

There is one in my daughters class. I think it’s a very happy sounding name. Her parents are quite hipster so I guess I associate it with happy hipster types.

It has a nice musicality to it.

But I think it sounds very showbiz / unsubstantial to me. I wouldn't like to be called it myself which I think is a bit of an acid test when it comes to names.

I love it. If I had another DD I would use it X

That or Tabitha X

I have a Tabitha already!

Tallulah does the hula thing doesn't bother me at all 😂 what a strange story .

It's a name I've always liked and suggested but others have pulled it at the last minute every time. (I have 7 children children)

I like Kitty too. And Dh loves Penelope.

Love Tallulah!

You could always use it as a middle name if others aren't keen.

I know a Ruby Tallulah

There’s a Tallulah at my son’s nursery, nickname Tali which I think is quite cute. Though I’ve also seen Kitty is on your list, LOVE Kit for a boy or a girl! X

I know an adult one. Honestly, people did take the piss a bit.

It's one of Bruce Willis daughters names.

Why not. I like it.

I love Tallulah. Tallulah Bankhead had an interesting life, I can't remember if that's why I liked the name. I wanted it for my first 18 years ago, but he was a boy. Then other names seemed more suitable with the others and Tallulah at one stage was quite popular in our area. It's a lovely name.

A colleague has a daughter named Tallulah Belle, known as Lula. I was a bit at first but quite like it now.

I like it, but not fond of the nickname Tally.

Not a fan. It's a fluffy, cutesy, girlie name which would suit a toddler, not so much a 40 something woman.

I don't like names that sound too sexy. I think people would have preconceptions that a Tallulah would be some kind of femme fatale. And she well may grow up to be anything but.
