Tallulah

[KAEKAE]

What do you think? Does it go with Oliver....I have no concens about the Bugsy Malone connection...

Its' fine with Oliver.

I'm a bit as I'd love a Talullah.

its sort of a bit "done" iykwim. lots of people use it because they think its cute and original... it sort of cute in a porn star way and def not original

It's not chavvy...I'd say it's the kind of name you'd find in Tatler.

i'd like anyone to show me a name that is original

Pooliwooly.

Do you know anyone called Pooliwooly?

funnily enough......

We could chuck some letters together in a random order and call it a name? That would be pretty original.

with a few numbers and symbols too?

love it

I don't really like it - it's a bit flimsy (and maybe tacky too). Not very sensible on a grown up either imo, I see it quite like Lola.

Tahlia is similar but nicer. Or maybe Talitha?

Like an internet password! Could catch on.... it would make passwords easier to remember.

No, really don't like it, sounds like a very dim witted child-sorry!!!!!!!

just as well i dont take this personally, or else i might get pissed off that my daughter has been called a chavvy dim witted porn star who isnt sensible

luckily i know her and am pretty sure she is none of hte above

when our baby girl didn't have a name and i was on the ward for ages, one of the midwives started calling her tallulah (think she was taking the p)
I don't see what is wrong with the name though. Think people are being a bit harsh.

Concordia, I too have vague memories of older aunts using this name as a kind of insult.
When I was a child they would refet to some people as "Tallulah" in a negative, kind of dismissive way.
Think that this has stuck with me and hence the negative connotations.

It also fails the gp/bank manageress test - and doesn't fail the lap dancer test - sorry if i offend, but you did ask...

never heard anyone using tallulah as an insult

this is probably not a good thread for me to keep posting on now i have had wine

ffs

as i said Lou, I think people are being a tad harsh here. Drink your wine and don't worry about it - i'm sure your DD loves her name!

i just find it odd that so much is based on a name

well it isnt its based on personal stereotypes

i think some of the posters have been a bit ott in their opinions, but as i said, their view does not fit my daughter so they are wrong

My friend's dd Tallulah is always called Lali (pron. Lally) - don't know if that's a common abbreivation (poss not) but that would then be Olly & Lali.

Tallulah is a lovely name.

and these people who witter on about job application forms etc are forgetting that 'unusual' names, if you want to call them that (ie not Emily, Jack, Joshua, Grace blah blah blah) are becoming the norm .. so by the time this generation are applying for said jobs their names will barely rate any notice.

just wanted to say that i'm not trying to be hurtful, but I am repeating the words of an adult Tallulah speaking about her own name.
