I probably wouldn't use it (well, maybe on a dog/cat) but I think it's adorable. I like the Tallulah spelling best, and I like Tally and Lulu/Lulah best for nn's.

I've come to love this name. I prefer the Irish spelling, Talulla. Nn Lulu is adorable.

I saw the suggestion of the nn Lulu and I ADORE that. If I end up using Tallulah...we'll call her Lulu for short definitely.

I ADORE Tallulah (definitely this spelling). It's one of my top 5 for sure. I like the nns Tula (too-la) and Lula. Combos:

Tallulah Ivy
Tallulah Scarlett
Tallulah Hope
Tallulah Charlotte

I find it a difficult name to pair a mn with.

I love Tallulah, especially with the nickname Tally. I was a huge fan of the British TV show 24Seven back when they showed it on television, and it's still near and dear to my heart, lol. The show was set at an unconventional boarding school in England, and Tallulah "Tally" was the name of the rich American girl who really was quite nice under her frivolity.

Tallulah is the spelling I prefer; the rest look incomplete or unbalanced.

Array

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.

I used to love that show too. They used to show it on The N when I first had my daughter and I got to watching it when I was doing her feedings.
Still I can't warm to Tallulah or Tally.

Sounds like a fun show, I'm surprised I never caught it. LOL. I like the N (and I'm 30 years old!) esp Degrassi. :b

It was on when Noggin started up...

Same time as when showed reruns of Daria and Pete & Pete. Good times, mon amie--I miss them terribly.

It was really good--only ran two seasons, but it was enjoyable and a good sight better (or, if nothing else, classier) than Degrassi. Don't get me wrong--I enjoy Degrassi quite a bit (and O'Grady--those're the two shows I still watch on the N, though the one about the dead kid looks good), but honestly, 24Seven was just...better. And not just because Beans (http://www.granadakids.com/24seven/beans.html) and Jax (http://www.granadakids.com/24seven/jax.html) really should've gotten together, lol. ;)

To keep this about names...ummm...Well, I really disliked Tallulah before that point. In fact, I started liking Augustus "Augie," Jacqueline "Jax," Anya, Bethan, Niamh, and Otto after I started watching the show. :)

The name is nms, but it's okay.
I think the spelling Tallulah looks the best, and I think Tallie is a cute nn for it.
Tallulah Jane
Tallulah Grace
Tallulah Jean

Tallulah is quite popular where I live. The nickname I've heard for it is Lulu. I'm not sure I like it, but it doesn't have that offbeat but educated quality some parents are looking for.
