A new child at dgd’s School is called Tallis. I have never heard it before. What do you think?

Beautiful.
It reminds me of Thomas Tallis and all his beautiful music.

I like it. It makes me think of the sea, possibly because it sounds a bit like Tethis.

piggie88 · 25/09/2018 11:45

I really like it.

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/09/2018 11:45

It's beautiful.

Quangot · 25/09/2018 11:54

I like it.

PatriciaHolm · 25/09/2018 11:55

My first thought was - as in Thomas? as well.

lolarose896 · 25/09/2018 11:58

I have never heard of it before. I love unusual names

Fraula · 25/09/2018 11:58

Lovely

BakedBeans47 · 25/09/2018 12:00

Horrible

VimFuego101 · 25/09/2018 12:03

I like it. Is it a boy? Maybe it was meant to be a male version of Talia/ Tabitha.

Icklepup · 25/09/2018 12:03

Alice with a T

Like PPs, Thomas Tallis. YouTube his music! 🎶

I have a friend called Tallis, late 20s. She's quirky just like her name. I'd never heard it as a name until I met her but it's a beautiful name.

Belmo · 25/09/2018 12:07

Lovely- I’m not really a fan of unusual names but I like that one!

Dentista · 25/09/2018 13:53

It makes me think 'talis' which is the domain name of the website that my former university used for reading lists.

But I don't imagine that's a common association.

GinIsIn · 25/09/2018 15:24

Thomas Tallis here too. It's nice.

jadedgranger · 25/09/2018 16:34

Reminds me of the French company Thalys

foldingtable · 25/09/2018 16:35

Are the parents ageing librarians?

SleepingStandingUp · 25/09/2018 16:37

I actually literally like it. I read it and thought ugh but then I heard it in my head and love it. Have two friends with Alice though so might be weird.

Unless I have b/G twins Tallis and Torbian

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 25/09/2018 16:40

unusual...

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 25/09/2018 16:41

Is the mother (or father) musical??

ErrolTheDragon · 25/09/2018 16:45

Unusual but good.

bridgetreilly · 25/09/2018 18:37

Surname, not first name, imo.

AlliKaneErikson · 25/09/2018 23:59

It’s what DH wanted to call DD! It’s onenof our favourite pieces of music (Variations on a theme of Thomas Tallis). I really like the but wasn’t brave enough!
