Stripper name?

[Ohalrightthen]

Not my words, but playing on my mind as someone said it...

Talulah?

Also, preferred spelling? Tallulah or Talulah? Would likely mainly be Lu or Lulah as we're a family of serial name-shorteners.

I like Lula or Lulah as a name.

@FippertyGibbett me too, but I'm a big fan of proper names on a birth certificate. Snobby, i know. My DD has a "long" name and then the name we use, i want to follow the same pattern for baby 2.

It's always going to be a name to which some people assign negative connotations (however unfairly, a name is just what your parents chose).

I don't think of Strippers. Stripper Names to me are Candy, Diamond, Peaches etc.

I do think of Bugsy Malone.
I also think of the clothing designer Rachel Roy who has a daughter named Tallulah. Oh! And Bruce Willis and Demi Moores daughter.

Yes to answer your question and I wouldn't choose that particular name for that reason

In my head it is a bit. Years ago my DM worked in a school in the middle of a red light district. The phone box nearby was full of cards with names like Tallula, Lola, Ruby, Jade and Amber. So they will always be prostitute names to me.

Stripper definitely

Yeah to me it’s sort of a showgirl/stripper name, entirely because of Jodie foster in bugsy malone.

My first thought on meeting a talulah would be to think of the song.

But I doubt that would be a popular association among children now, and I doubt I’d keep thinking it after the first time I met your daughter.

So I get what whoever you spoke to means, but not sure 🤔 it’s a big issue.

Always makes me think of Talullah Does The Hula In Hawaiii. Poor girl.

Nice enough name though.

I don't think of it as a stripper name. Maybe a siren rather than a stripper?

Tula?

Yep, does give me stripper vibes. I also feel it's a bit jolly hockey sticks.

See, to me it's just baby Jody Foster! Which is a definite plus. But evidently not. Sad times for baby lulah.

I think its a lovely name. I like it shortened to Tali too

Awful name. Yes, I think low-rent showgirl

Yep, does give me stripper vibes. I also feel it's a bit jolly hockey sticks.

Eh?! Surely one or the other?

There's a Tallulah in my daughters class. Never thought of a stripper.

I can only think of this scene in Cool Runnings.

It's unusual but I don't think 'stripper'

Not necessarily - names can have more than one association surely? Take Diana as an example. Princess of Wales and also Wonder Woman.

I never knew Wonderwoman was called Diana!

I don’t buy into ‘stripper names’. Surely there are loads of strippers with top 20 names.

I do think about how names come across professionally though. Would you trust a solicitor called Talulah? I don’t see why not but some might not take her as seriously as, say Sarah.

If you're looking for something to watch the movie is decent

I might just do - I used to love the TV show.

Tallulla is actually an Irish saints name, and I think it is lovely
