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

McKenzie as a given name is very American, which is fine, but they have their own cultural influences for picking names that are surnames. I'll go in to that if you're even slightly interested (all in The Baby Name Wizard) which I read years ago.

Tallulah is not my style at all but it has common enough usage now that I don't think any child called Tallulah would suffer at all.

Tagging Belle on to it makes it seem like you couldn't decide between two names. Also, overload on the L sounds.

She'll never be prime minister

Ah! It's for a dog! I feel foolish now. Sorry.

I think it's great now. this dog has to be a Bichon Frisse or a havanese!

@DukkaDukka

Talula-Belle is not a name for a grown up. Plus it’s a bit of a mouthful.
It's not even a good name for a small child, though, is it?

The hyphen is bad, the "belle" bit is bad, the Tallulah bit is misspelled.

I'd go back to the drawing board OP to be honest.

Does the dog use a surname!?

I wish we could have a vote on whether a Yorkipoo dog would make a better PM than BoJo.Grin

@Saylavie you had me, thank goodness only a dog but seriously what was your mum thinking???

My dog has a full name, shortened version and yes his surname (mine) is listed on his post (vet sends letters to him!)

MLMshouldbeillegal · 16/11/2021 18:49

Even if it's a small dog, it's a ridiculous name.

I really do worry about people who can't see the difference between a dog and a human child, and treat their animals as "fur babies".

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 16/11/2021 18:52

It'll be a bit of a mouthful when she's shouting her back from across a field but it will give passers-by a good chuckle though Grin

Hopefully the OPs DM can distinguish between a baby and a puppy... because if she can't, I shudder to think what the poor OP is called.Grin

@Saylavie

I'm sorry.. I've misled you all. This is what my mum has just called her dog. I told her it's awful and sounds like a stripper and she said that was a ridiculous thing to say. I just wanted to see if anyone else instantly thought stripper.. which multiple did Grin

She got the full name and her own surname embroidered on to everything. It's just awful 😂

Apologies for misleading... as a side note do people usually give dogs surnames? Is that a thing? My dog is called Dave. Just Dave! 😂

Thank God for that 😂 It's bloody awful

Just earlier tonight I said, 'Jemima Silverstone Kai', stay away from that curry or you will burn your mouth.
I also praised Matilda Monza, and Eponine Spa for not trying to eat the v hot curry.

It's a fabulous name for a dog Grin

@LadyDanburysHat

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

Nothing worse than a younique spelling, except a younique spelling with a hyphen. Tis downmarket with giant bells on.

Kanaloa · 16/11/2021 21:41

I actually think Talullah Mackenzie or Mackenzie Talullah is a fine name for a baby. Wouldn’t use Belle in the middle because I don’t like the name Belle.

As you’ve now said it’s a dog’s name, not sure why this is in baby names or why you waited to reveal that.

Luredbyapomegranate · 16/11/2021 21:41

@Saylavie

Sent my mum this thread. Grin
Comedy. Why are you worried c your mum's dog's name?!
nocoolnamesleft · 16/11/2021 21:42

Oh, thank god it's a dog. I mean, it's still bad for a dog. But at least it isn't actual child cruelty.

It’s a dog, so does it matter? Will all the other dogs pick on it because they have sensible dog names like Rover and Lassie and Patch?

Or perhaps it will struggle to get a serious career in politics? Although I would think the lack of ability to talk, write, and generally be a human would be more of a barrier there.

PeachesPumpkin · 16/11/2021 21:44

How about just Tulah?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/11/2021 22:36

Maybe the OP sometimes has to look after the dog, and doesn't fancy having to call 'here, Talulah-Belle Mackenzie.... and Dave'?

thewhatsit · 17/11/2021 06:59

Oh thank God for that!

I kind of like it for a dog in that it’s so ridiculous. I know working dogs tend to only have one syllable names so I love the idea of this dog having a Toddlers & Tiaras (toddler beauty pageant show in the US that I hate/love) name that it is completely unaware of.

hugocat · 17/11/2021 07:16

Great name for a little female dog, you can nn 'lulu'

Irishfarmer · 17/11/2021 10:06

Thank god it's a dog!! My dog has a surname on his registration form and linked to his chip.

I also spelt my dogs name wrong Blush Hopefully I won't do that with the baby!!!
