Well? I can't decide between the two.

I prefer Mabel, but Tallulah good too.

Are both good with your surname?

SilveryMoon · 14/04/2010 22:04

Sorry, i don't like either

preggersplayspop · 14/04/2010 22:07

They are both very different to each other. Mabel is more granny-chic, and Tallulah more glitzy. I'm not overly keen on either of them, but Mabel I guess.

LetThereBeRock · 14/04/2010 22:30

Neither.

paisleyleaf · 14/04/2010 22:36

They're both so different, it's hard to see how they've ended up on one person's shortlist.
I can't help you though.

Love Mabel

catinthehat2 · 14/04/2010 22:47

The first "Ruby"s were celeb kids, then everyone used it. These sound a bit past it & try-hard to me these days. Sorry.

Mabel

Tallulah was on our list in case DS was a DD. I was in Bugsy Malone as a child and love the song and the glamour and glitz of the 1920s.

Turniphead1 · 14/04/2010 22:58

mabel. please.

violethill · 14/04/2010 23:02

Mabel is preferable but neither are great.

KristinaM · 14/04/2010 23:02

Tortington · 14/04/2010 23:03

mabel - i really like this name it was my grandma;s - she however was a god awful bitch - but i still lie the name

moaningminniewhingesagain · 14/04/2010 23:04

I love Mabel and nearly chose it for DD but DH vetoed it. Don't like Tallulah really.

hana · 14/04/2010 23:15

Mabel is my all time fave girl's name

Tallulah is cheap

Mabel I really really love. It's not DD's name because DH said no and anyway I like her name even more!

I know one or two Tallulahs but no Mabels.

ozmetric · 14/04/2010 23:54

Tallulah

mathanxiety · 14/04/2010 23:55

Mabel

Casmama · 14/04/2010 23:59

Neither

jenduff · 15/04/2010 00:39

Mabel

EsmeWatson · 15/04/2010 03:45

So different style wise. Not sure I like either TBH. But if was forced to choose I'd go with Mabel. Tallulah is awful.

muggglewump · 15/04/2010 03:55

Mabel if you want to name her like a cow, Tallulah if you want to be a try hard Sleb.

I'd say neither.

How about Pheobe, or Maud, or Gemma, or Elizabeth, or Tabitha ?

muggglewump · 15/04/2010 03:56

Phoebe.
Typo, not bad spelling.
