I really love it. It's probably in my top 10 for girl names.My favorite nickname for it would probably be Lulu, but I also like Tali or Tally.

It's not for me. It feels like I live in the Bayou with a croc. My best friend's cousin named one of her kids Tallaylah but I'm not positive about the spelling.

For the longest time, I disliked it and called it celebrity-trendy, but then a friend of mine named her daughter Talula (I don't recommend this spelling--stick with Tallulah or Talulla) and I like it now. Talula's almost seven now and really loves her name. She occasionally goes by Lula or Lu, but mostly it's just Talula. I prefer it without a nickname.

I like it enough to put it on my own lists. I think it's pretty & spunky. Lulu, Lula and Tallie/ Tal are all possible nicknames I like.

I have such mixed feelings on that name. It has a cool sound, but at the same time it sounds silly. It's really quite a problem. I don't know what I think!Nicknames could by Tally, Lally, or Lula

I like it a lot actually. No nicknames necessary, but I suppose Lula is cute.

I love it. It has a lot of spirit, but not so much that I can't take it seriously as a real name. I like both this version and the Irish one. Lula, Lulu and Tali are all nns I like.

I used to hate the name Tallulah so much but now I really like it. I think it's really spunky. I like the nn Tali / Tally / Tallie for it.

I really like Tallulah but I slightly prefer the spelling Talulla (the Irish way). It lacks a certain grounding though for me which is why it has never made my top names though it has always been on my PNL.
My favourite nn for it is Tally but Lula or Lu works too

I really dislike Tallulah. It has always sounded trashy-celebrity-trendy to me ever since Bruce Willis used it. Sorry.Nicknames... my sister has a similar name (Talbot) and goes by Tal, Tally, or Tee. I guess you could also use Lula or Lulu. Ali is a stretch.
