Thoughts please. Will be for my DD2 when she arrives. And what would work as a middle name - what would her nickname be?

Make that considering using it as her name - not decided yet.

I always think of Bugsy Malone when I hear this name

I love it xx
Tallulah Rose

Not keen, sounds like a cocktail. also remins me of the awful names of Bob Geldof's kids!

Plonker · 13/04/2009 09:58

Not keen tbh.

NNs that immediately sprang to mind are Lulu and Lulah

Think a short, probably a bit more conservative middle name would be best (to give her a choice as she gets older).

Rose is pretty. Also, Grace, Marie, Hope, Faye.

I love it and I also think that Tallulah Rose sounds brilliant.

The only nickname I really think of is Lulu.

Leannabanana · 13/04/2009 10:07

lulie is a nice nickname or tally? and i agree rose really is the nicest middle name here....i worry that Jessie Wallace has tainted this name tho as she called her daughter Talullah - that puts me off it i think....don't you just hate slebs....

LadyPinkofPinkerton · 13/04/2009 10:10

Love Tallulah, DS2 would have been that had he been a girl.

Would have been Lula for nn, or maybe Tally.

LastOrders · 13/04/2009 10:17

I love it

Not overly keen on Rose as middle name, but agree it does work well.

I've earmarked it if I have a DD (unlikely!)

Rose works well but we already used that for DD1. Thanks for the input. Sorry, who is Jesse Walace???? (live abroad emotion)

Too sexualised. Not keen. Also, on top of that, it's a sleb choice. Demi Moore, Jesse Wallace. There are others too, I just can't think right now, but when Jesse Slater called her dd Tallulah, I remember thinking, what? another Tallulah!?

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 13/04/2009 16:05

Angela Griffiths has a Talllulah too.

Stretch · 13/04/2009 16:06

Did you watch Cool Runnings the other night?

"Sounds like a 2 dollar hooker!"

Sorry, I quite like it!

Stuffed · 13/04/2009 16:09

I love it, but names I love tend to suddenly become very popular.

Does Demi Moore really have a Tallulah? I never knew that!

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 13/04/2009 16:10

Yes, a Rumer, a Scout Larue and a Tallulah.

FFS!!!!

ProoDense · 13/04/2009 16:18

It reminds me of Bugsy Malone.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 13/04/2009 16:19

dreadful
sorry

whenever I see or hear it I think yuk. And Tallulah Rose is cliched now. I know a Talullah Rose. Bad.
