My sister's good friend just had her third child, a daughter named Tallulah. I was so pleasantly surprised! What a sweet and spunky name!

What do you think of it?

It's a lovely name, I like it a lot. At least it's something a little different and with the correct spelling too!

Aww, a little Tallulah. I think it's great fun.

To me, it's one of those hipster names I really dislike, it's just sounds like parents trying far too hard to find a cool, trendy name. There are at least 3 girls named Tallulah at my sons' school .

I love it! I would seriously consider using it myself, because it's a family name.

The meaning is absolutely gorgeous, and for that reason, I want to like it more. I agree that it's spunky, but I can't imagine using it myself. It's great for a pet though.

It's cute. There's a lot of nicknames that could be used for the name.

Tallulah does nothing for me. It still makes me think of Tallulah Does the Hula from Hawaii, a rather unfortunate girl from a few years back.

I can see where that would be a concern, but it was Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii. Talula and Tallulah are two very different names; Talula is from Irish and Tallulah, I believe, is Choctaw.

Yeah, but...

They seem to be easily confused.

I don't know. I can see it being sweet and spunky, but I never really saw it as a given name because it was my grandmother's nickname for me when I was little.

It's spunky and cool and maybe a little flirty. I wouldn't use it but it's fun to see.

I'm warming to it. I used to think it was dippy and lame, but now I think it has a sweet quality, like a Southern belle.

Yay! :D

I really like this name. I just made a post asking for middle name ideas for it a couple days ago. I agree- it is very spunky. It's so frilly but yet it's not. I picture this name on an indie singer or something, I just think it's so great. Do you know what the baby's middle name is? :)

Edit- Also, do you mind me asking what the other children's names are?

I don't know the middle name yet but the siblings are Nicholas and Carys. :)

I used to think it was overly silly, but in the past year maybe I've started to embrace the silliness. It has a such a bright, fun, light-hearted sound to it. You can't help but smile at it! I think it's daring to use it, but I do like it.

I think it's fabulously stylish and spunky! :)
