    Isn't one of Demi Moore's daughters named Talula Belle? I know her others are Scout and Rumor.

    That girl named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii was revoked by a judge in New Zeland during a custody battle. This story has been on CNN today. Comcast.net has the story. As well as the other names that have been revoked like Fish and Chips for twins. The name Yeah Detroit. Allowed names are Number 16 bus shelter, and violence. (WHY??? )

    Tallulah was named after the actress Tallulah Bankhead, Rumer was named after the author Rumer Godden, and Scout was named after a character in a classic novel but I forget which one it was.

    "Talula Does The Hula In Hawaii" is the full name. I know Talula (Tallulah) is a proper name. It is the add-on that is/was frustrating for the judge. Thanks, nrsang97, for the rest of the story. I had not seen it on CNN, I don't have CNN.

    This is fun! I've been reading back and can't believe how "common" some uncommon names are becoming...I have seen a few of the ones posted. Three boys walker, Texas, Ranger. Anakin.
    One day I was joking around with a dad. I asked him what his name was. He said Amal. I asked how do you spell that and he says J'amal. I said ??? it's not Jamal. We were teasing each other...then he says the J is silent...I said ok ok what does your mother call you.. He says "Joseph" He, his girlfriend and I had a good laugh.

    I had a classmate in elementary school named Tyree. He went by Ty at the time, and not long ago, I told someone a story about him and decided to Google him to see if I could locate him.

    He was a short black kid, very smart, with a ginormous Afro (this was the mid-1970s) and a girl I sometimes played with said he had an "umbrella haircut" (That was the story.) His sister was in my Girl Scout troop, and a few years later, their parents got divorced and they moved away. Anyway, the Google search revealed that he's a dentist in the Las Vegas area, and is the director of a mobile dental clinic that goes to low-income areas in that city, and outlying Indian settlements, to provide dental care to those people.

    :wink2:

    He no longer has an umbrella haircut.

    Giving bad baby names is a pretty big thing --- I was googling a name and stumbled to this site http://bigbadbabynames.net/forum/index.php . It's pretty interesting.



    I was wondering ---- what do you consider a weird/bad name? A name that you don't know/never heard of or a name that doesn't make sense?

    Ex. Ameena which is a legit, cultural name vs. Nevaeh which is just a made up name?
