HelpTatler
Yes, a little girl called Tatler. Her sister is called Loren. It was an article in a British paper about conspicuous consumption among tweens and younger teenagers.
I think it is hideous and has no redeeming features at all...

For what it's worth ...
Tatler is the name of a pretty but vapid 'society" magazine based in London which focuses on the lives and clothing of the rich and well-connected. I fear the parents might have hoped the aura of perceived glamour and money would be magically transmitted to their unfortunate child. Who will presumably be nicknamed Tatty. Oh dear.

That's a horrible name. It has the negative association of 'tattler', and also, it just doesn't sound very nice either.

Yowsa!

How ironic that an article about conspicuous consumption features a girl named Tatler! Tacky and an unattractive sound too. I quite like Loren spelled like that though.

Huh
I assume it's a surname name... and kinda fun, but in a non-realistic way. Like it makes me think of a street urchin in a fantasy novel. A young pickpocket or something. Who is a boy.
I wonder what they call her for short?

I wouldn't want to be named after a beauty/fashion type magazine.
Although maybe it was a family surname like New Chloe suggested, and just a coincidence. But even so, is that magazine quite well known there?

Well, if you were named Elle or Marie Claire, it'd be hard to tell :)

I thought of that!
Which is why I wondered how prevalent the magazine was. Like I've never seen those magazines before, even though I do know they exist. So I don't think they're common enough that anyone named Elle or Marie Claire would be instantly linked to them.

It would be among the people I think the article was about - or they aspire to be - if that makes sense. It is supposed to be about the lives and lifestyles of the upper class and monied.
So tacky!
