But I'm loving the name Satchel for a girl. I've only really heard it as a boy name, but I prefer it as a girls name.
Thoughts?
Oh, we have a boys name that WILL NOT be changing.
Satchel May??

Mmmm not that I hate it but TBH i think you might be setting her up for heaps of teasing, sorry.
Nope. Don't like it. It is like calling your child handbag.
But your choice :)
Nooooooooo! Oh babe, I'm sorry but no. Satchel. Like the bag? Is that how it's pronounced? Or sash-elle? If it's the latter I'd spell it differently. If it's the former...i say nay :p
You do realise people will bag her at school??? You know how kids carry on.
Maybe you should have a back up just in case ;)
Sorry, couldn't resist ;) :p
I don't mind it but I wouldn't use it...
Those are all the comments I'm getting from DH.
The name we'd already chosen is Tallulah. I still love it, but investigating other options....
Thanks for being honest, tho. I figured I was the only one who liked it, :rofl:
Sorry nope its terrible.
Tallulah is cute. Satchel is horrid!
Sorry I don't like it either
Reminds me of Brooke Satchwell? Sorry I don't like the name :(
Love Tallulah, Satchel i cant get my head around sorry...........and beleive me, im all for unusual names :)
What about Sasha? Or variations of that?
Ahh, no on Sasha. My uncles XDW was Sasha and things ended very badly there.
Seychelle? Having said that I don't like that either but less likely to get teased.
Tallulah is cute but I really do not like Shatchel sorry.
I actually really like it.

Sorry I really dislike it. Love Tallulah though :)
A simple no.
Tallulah is lovely. Please don't use Satchel your dh is right she will be teased.
Satchel is horrible :/ sorry!
oh dear. backpack?
I LOLed.
A friend has a son called Satchen, i have never thought it was a wierd name.
Tallulah reminds me of the parents who called their kid 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii' and she went to court to get her name changed.
Not for me either sorry.
Talullah is very sweet, but for me a Satchel is an object for carrying things around in (what would nicknames be? Sat? Satchy? IDK!)
If Satchel didn't mean "school bag" then I'd love it. Just the meaning thing means it doesn't work for me. Talullah is a great sounding name.
But hey, I like Satchen / Sachin, for a boy, as in the bowler Sachin Tendulkar. And I'm sorry but I don't like Tullulah.
Would most kids nowadays even know what a satchel is?? And when their class is full of a whole bunch of other unusual names, will they even bother teasing Satchel?? I think it's the kids' parents who'll be doing the teasing... it's like at school when a kid introduces their parent to a friend, it's always the parent that does the double-take on the name.. "What's your name again?" "Who thought of that name?" or the ever popular "What an UNusual name!"
It wouldn't make my favourite names list, but I think the whole "they'll get teased" argument is redundant these days....
Bahahahaha!!:
I don't believe that getting teased is redundant. Kids will work out the connection to satchel by about 12 if not earlier.
What a beautiful name! Keep it on the shortlist :)
xx
Not for me, sorry. I thought of a bag too.
Personally, I hate it but this is your child and your decision.
Nope - dislike it! I asked my 5yo what a satchel was and she knew so I think kids will work it our pretty quickly. It reminds me of Michael Jackson's kid "Blanket".
Tallulah I like - Tallulah Bankhead was an awesome, witty actress in the 1920's so it has good connotations for me :D
Satchel - I dislike it. I also agree that kids will work out pretty quickly the meaning of 'satchel'.
Sachin- I like (for a boy, not a girl).
Tallulah is a pretty name.
Pffffft to people will tease her. If anybody ever suggests Angus, nobody mentions that it's only one letter different from Anus. Kids will find a reason to tease, so what-frickety-ever.
That said, I don't like it. It doesn't go with Hannah. Tallulah is a better match. Keep hunting, there's plenty of time.
I kind of like it if only the meaning was something more poetic. What about Thistle? That is a girls name but not around much anymore and has the same kind of flow. I heard it at a conference a few months ago and have liked it ever since.
I'm a teacher - kids can be CRUEL. No to Satchel but I do like Tallulah :)
I LOVE the name Tahlulla....
Ok for Satchel..... but not up there for the favourites...
