[Opinions] Re: Tallulah
Tallulah has become much more popular here in the UK recently, especially among celebrities. I think it will increase in the USA too. I really don't see it as glamourous though, and don't think it will be confined to usage by "artsy" parents. It seems slightly tacky to me.

Agree about the slight tacky feel. Even though it does have that old Hollywood feel to it, I would equate it more with Zsa-Zsa than Ava. It has a certain frivolousness to it that makes it less appealing than Audrey. It isn't as classic. I can see it getting popular as a retro-cute name, though. It also has the soft L sound going for it, and that's gotten Elle, Lily, Amelia, etc., a lot of mileage.+ As I was reading Lily's reply, I realized more what I meant when I said it feels more like Zsa-Zsa than Ava. Think of the images those celebrities displayed. Avas and Audreys were classic not just in name but in persona. I think parents are channeling that as much as just Old Hollywood.
