WDYT of Callulah?
I saw the name Callulah a few years ago. A designer had named her daughter Callulah Lilibelle or something like that, and I thought it was adorable.I had kind of dismissed Callulah as a made up name, but I can't stop thinking about it!There are a few websites that say Callulah/Callula is a latin name for 'beautiful light', but I don't know hoe reliable they are...What do you think of it?Does anyone know if it is a 'real' name?

"Beautiful light" would be "lux pulchra" or something like that in Latin.
Can't say I like Callulah, sorry.

I think it sounds like Kahlua.

I would just stick with Tallulah. It's bound to be confused with Tallulah anyways. I don't know anything about it, but it looks similar enough to Tallulah that my guess is that it's a made-up name that was inspired by Tallulah and perhaps Calla and Kelila as well.I didn't immediately think of Kahlua. In terms of appearance, it's not too close, but it sounds similar, so people might call her Kahlua either by mistake or as a teasing name. I don't think it's that big of a deal, though.

And is it too close to Kahlua?

This was the very first thing that popped into my head (and I'm a non-drinker), followed by Tallulah which I very much like. But you may not want to pay too much attention to my associations right now...Cleotha in a previous post brought up sloths and Mothra.
