Tallulah is lovely :)

peaches99 · 06/10/2021 15:31

Another vote for Tallulah. I love it, although I was outvoted when I had dd 1.

IShoveLula · 06/10/2021 15:45

Henrietta, but I'm not keen on any of them or Kerry, sorry.

itsme189 · 06/10/2021 15:50

Henrietta is my favourite (love the nn Hetty)

EugeniaGrace · 06/10/2021 15:53

Henrietta - I like both Hetty and Etta as nicknames

thunderandsunshine01 · 06/10/2021 15:55

Henrietta from me, but also really like Delilah. Not keen on Tallulah at all

Tal45 · 06/10/2021 15:56

They're all a bit flouncy for me but I like Tal (obvs) so I'd go Tallulah.

ignatiusjreilly · 06/10/2021 15:57

I know a lovely Tallulah. Very kind, goes out of her way to help people and is a good laugh. So I vote for Tallulah!

Blueberry40 · 06/10/2021 15:57

I love the name Delilah!

Hm2020 · 06/10/2021 15:58

Tallulah or Delilah love them both

RightOnTheEdge · 06/10/2021 16:00

I like them all but now I've got that song from Bugsy Malone stuck in my head.

I think Henrietta is my favourite and Hetty, Netty, Etta etc are cute.

coffeepleeease · 06/10/2021 16:00

Tallulah, I wanted Tallulah but DH didn't like it!

Palavah · 06/10/2021 16:01

I don't understand the love for Tallulah at all. It sounds ridiculous to me.

timetochangeagainforever · 06/10/2021 16:03

Delilah but my friend has one (5)who is absolutely adorable so I'm probably biased. Love Talulah but it's my friend's name (40s) and she has been known as Lou since senior school, which I think is a shame.

itsme189 · 06/10/2021 16:03

I do love the NN Deedee for Delilah and Hetty for Henrietta there arent many nicknames I like for Tallulah and most names get shortened. my mum tried to get people not to shorten my name and no-one ever calls me my full name!

Ps Henrietta is lovely but where I am - SE London some people drop their 't' so is doesn't sound so attractive being shouted across the playground!

Kindertonguehappierlife · 06/10/2021 16:07

Delilah

SE13Mummy · 06/10/2021 16:34

Henrietta

user1493494961 · 06/10/2021 16:34

I'm not keen on any of them really, I would have said Delilah but Deedee is awful. I actually like the shortening Hetty.

crumpet · 06/10/2021 16:43

I know a Henrietta who is a Henri rather than a Hetty.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 06/10/2021 16:47

Henrietta but not with Hetty as a nn.
