Ophelia? Tallulah?

MrsBigTime · November 2016

We're hopefully just days (hours??!?!!) from meeting our second daughter and she remains nameless at this time. We have a list of about 15 and a few are "safe" choices, some are a little more out there, but neither DH or I have one that we love yet.

Our two more "out there" names are Ophelia and Tallulah, what are you thoughts on these two?

Please be kind - keep in mind I'm very, very pregnant!

I hadn't a neighbour with a little girl named Ophelia, and she was just the cutest little thing. I really like the name. It has a French feel. Tallulah is NMS at all.

I love them both

I like Ophelia better than Tallulah, but there is nothing overly wrong with Tallulah. For some reason I just hear Tallulah in a southern accent, so it 'stamps' it for me, is all. It's still a nice name, tho

Neither are my style.

They aren't necessarily our style, either, but good gracious, this kid needs a name! Ha!!

I love them both prefer Tallulah slightly!

Love Ophelia. Tallulah is just ok for me. I like the way it sounds. But don't like the way it looks...

Ophelia is pretty. Congratulations mama! Suggesting Cordelia and Delilah on the off chance that nothing sticks.

I was going to suggest Delilah too!

What is your older daughters name?

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

@laurenm2123 her signature has a baby named Lydia so most likely this

Given that maybe Adeline, Adelaide or Emmeline?

Love Ophelia! Tallulah is NMS, but the nn Tally would be cute.

allieshortcake · November 2016

Of the two, I like Ophelia better, though I'm not crazy about it. I like the suggestions others have made of Cordelia, Adelaide, or Emmeline.

Thanks! I'm never not on mobile.

I think Ophelia and Tallulah are a little out there with Lydia as a sibset.

What about:
Delilah
Amelia
Adele
Mia
Cora
Isla

Like PP suggestions of Adelaide and Emmeline

LCRbelle · November 2016

I love Ophelia!

BabySunshine4 · November 2016

I love Ophelia too!

I really dislike Tallulah. Ophelia is very nice.

I like Ophelia. To me, Tallulah is kind of a silly name for an adult. But I've also never met one so who knows.

BumpasaurusRex · November 2016

I really like Ophelia! Tallulah isn't bad but it's not on the same level.

mb0112 · November 2016

I want to like both, but don't think they'd feel natural for me in day-to-day life and are more "out there" than Lydia. Lulu would be a cute nickname for Tallulah but I agree with PP it feels like an odd name for an adult. Maybe I'm just not used to it. I met one Tallulah, about 9 years old with a sister Eloise. Some suggestions that might feel less "out there" but not too "safe"-

Eloise
Phoebe
Delilah
Delia
Cecilia
Cecily
Hannah
Vera
Beatrice
Noelle
Francesca
Francine
Genevieve

Thanks everyone!

We ultimately went with Evelyn Margaret, which went best with our Lydia. As much as we do like Tallulah, it was just too much for us - but it is adorable! We were really torn between Evelyn and Ophelia in the end, but we couldn't give her the initials OMG, and Margaret is after DH's grandma, so we now have (and love!) our Lydia and Evelyn!

Gators&BoSox · November 2016

congratulations on your new addition! that's a great point about the OMG... enjoy your girls

Minger86 · November 2016

Congrats! I LOVE the name Evelyn!
