Tallulah
What are your thoughts and impressions of Tallulah. Any nickname ideas? I was thinking maybe Tallie. Tallie-Lu as a family nn lol~ Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry ~

Tallulah is darling though I'm not brave enough to use it IRL and besides, it doesn't go with the names of my dds. I have, however, considered it for a pet. I like it because it's complex, spunky and it feels alive (if that makes sense). There's not an iota of weakness, hesitation or indecision about Tallulah. NNS: Tallie, Lula, Lulu.

Kind of funny you called Tallulah "darling" because Tallulah Bankhead was known for calling everyone "darling" and for doing so frequently.

I like Tallulah, but beware it might be hard for people to pronounce given all the ls. Unfortunately, it reminds me of the horrible pare ts who named their daughter Tallulah Does The Hula From Hawaii. No joke.

I've always loved this name, it's really pretty imo. I also like Tallie as a nn, but I prefer Lula more.

Not my style, but it's a nice name. It does seem a little ditzy at first, but I'm sure that meeting a Tallulah with a good head on her shoulders would knock that association out of my head.

I adore this name. Tallie, Talia and Lula are my favourite nicknames for it.

I find Tallulah lovely and lively. I enjoy the imagery of leaping waters in combination with the way the name looks and sounds, like a dance of joy.Tallie / Tallie-Lu work fine as nicknames, I think, though I prefer Lula or Tula.

I like Tallulah a lot. Would probably shorten it to Lula

I like it. I prefer it without any nicknames, but Lula is pretty cute.

Extremely Southern is my first and strongest impression. It also seems a little on the silly side. I think it's hard to take seriously. A few women could pull it off, but I think it would be a handicap to most.I do like Tallie as a nickname for it. I could see a professional Tallulah wanting to put Tallie on her business cards.

I love Tallulah! She has a fun, energetic, glamorous, 50s/60s film star vibe that I love (à la Marilyn, Margaux/Margot, and Beatrix). I first came across her in Bugsy Malone, and have loved the name since. I absolutely love saying it and the way it sounds. For nns, I love Lula and Lulu. I have Tallulah Beatrix on my list right now and love the idea of Lula-Bee.

Hi Mareasi !!I really like Tallulah.
I rate it 8/10.It has a lovely, sweet and melodial sound.It means something like 'waterfall' isn't it?I know that a Norwegian little princess has Tallulah as her MN. This names also remember me dragonflies because in Italian the word for dragonfly is 'libellula'. It is a nice link. Dragonflies are light, colourful and weird animals. I like them.

*looks up Tallulah on the site* You're close--leaping waters! It says it may also mean "town" in the Creek language.
