With common surname, thinks Davies/Harries sort of thing?

That's a lot of names!

SleepingStandingUp · 16/11/2021 16:10

I wouldn't use a K in the middle, just a k

DukkaDukka · 16/11/2021 16:13

Talula-Belle is not a name for a grown up. Plus it’s a bit of a mouthful.

RiaOverTheRainbow · 16/11/2021 16:14

I'd use just Tallulah or Belle, together they sound too much like Tinkerbell. I like Mackenzie a lot (this spelling when it's not a surname).

ILoveShula · 16/11/2021 16:14

I'd spell it Tallulah and drop the hyphen

LadyDanburysHat · 16/11/2021 16:15

Talullah is a lovely name, Belle is a nice name. That badly spelled hyphenated name is awful.

WheelieBinPrincess · 16/11/2021 16:15

Are you thinking of putting her into pageants?

Tibby99 · 16/11/2021 16:15

The Belle is too imo.

Tallulah Mackenzie is lovely though!

whosaidtha · 16/11/2021 16:16

That badly spelt, hyphenated name is not a name for a 40year old woman. Remember you are naming an adult as well as a baby.

Starcaller · 16/11/2021 16:17

It's too much for me. Just Tallulah or Belle I think. Talula-Belle does sound like a child beauty queen or an old lady's very fluffy and spoiled little white dog.

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 16/11/2021 16:18

I’d hate to be called that, so that’s usually my benchmark.

It’s a name for a 2YO, or a doll. It’s not a name for a woman who expects to go through life being taken seriously.

You did ask.

Irishfarmer · 16/11/2021 16:18

I just can't imagine just a name like Tulula- Belle at work. Mackenzie is a lovely name.

littlebigtiger · 16/11/2021 16:18

It's very Teen Mom.

WaltzingBetty · 16/11/2021 16:19

It would be better if it wasn't misspelled

WheelieBinPrincess · 16/11/2021 16:19

I’m picturing a horror in a garish sateen ball gown on Toddlers and Tiaras.

Puddlesandbubbles · 16/11/2021 16:19

Awful!! Terrible spelling and it's a so twee. Cannot see it on an adult. Would you trust doctor, lawyer, accountant etc called Talula-Belle?

babouchette · 16/11/2021 16:20

Dreadful. The name of a porn star. Please don't do this.

lovablequalities · 16/11/2021 16:21

Is Mackenzie a surname or a given name?

DukkaDukka · 16/11/2021 16:21

It’s very stripperish or porn star.

Starcaller · 16/11/2021 16:21

I always do the 'prime minister'/'doctor' test when I think about names for DC! 'Prime Minister Talula-Belle Lastname' for instance. If it sounds absurd, then I think it's not a serviceable name for a grown adult who might want to do any one of a number of things with their life.

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 16/11/2021 16:23

@lovablequalities

Is Mackenzie a surname or a given name?
It says in the OP:

With common surname, thinks Davies/Harries sort of thing?

DukkaDukka · 16/11/2021 16:23

I always do the reaction I think I get if it was my name and DH was introducing me to the in laws for the first time.

RallySooney · 16/11/2021 16:23

Brings to mind Bugsy Malone. It's a Gangsters moll's name.

EdmontinaDonsAutumnalHues · 16/11/2021 16:23

child beauty queen or an old lady's very fluffy and spoiled little white dog

Yup.

Hormones? Or first novel?

TaraLewis · 16/11/2021 16:28

Tallulah, sounds like a 2 dollar hooker.
