Help[Opinions] Re: Tallulah
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Do you think Tallulah has the potential to substantially increase in use in the USA like other "older Hollywood glamour" names like Ava, Audrey, and Lana have?
- No. I think it has the potential to rise a little bit, but I don't see it anywhere near the top 100. I think it might start to rise in the next 5 years but it will rise rather slowly up to number 500 (this is the highest I can see it at. Most likely 700 or 800, though) and then fall again. I think if it was going to be in the top 100 or top 200 it would have risen already, but it didn't. It's not even in the top 1000. and people have definitely heard of it. I think everybody knows this name thanks to Tallulah Belle, the daughter of Bruce and Demi and Talulla Fyfe, the daughter of Patrick Dempsey and his wife. Everybody knows Bruce's daughter and she is in the media all the time so if the name had potential it would have caught on at least a little bit but it hasn't. All the other other names you mentioned, Ava, Audrey and Lana caught on almost immediately (a year or so) after celebrities had used it and Tallulah hasn't been used very recently by celebrities, it was already used 15 or so years ago so people know it but decided not to use it. I love the name but I think many people think it's weird or they think of Tallulah Bankhead. Also the name is very tied to Bruce's daughter. Ava was already getting more popular before Reese and Ryan used it so I guess it would have become popular no matter what.
Or does it have the sort of sound that will keep it confined to kids of very "artsy" parents?
yes. It has an interesting but unusual sound. I think it's too weird for the ordinary parent to use.
And does this name have a different feel to parents in the UK than the USA? (I noticed through Googling that a surprising number of Tallulahs these days seem to be British.)
- hmmmm don't know. I'm from Germany and I like it. It doesn't seem British at all to me.
