Tallulah Willis changes her name

From celebrity-babies.com:

Tallulah Belle Willis, 13, commissioned dad Bruce to make an announcement during his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last night.

"Tallulah wanted me to mention on here tonight that she's legally changing her name from Tallulah to Lulah. Just Lulah. Doesn't like her name, doesn't like Tallulah. She's legally changing it."

WDYT? I'm not a huge fan of Tallulah, but I think it's better than Lulah, especially considering that her full name will be Lulah Belle...that's pretty "backwoods" in my opinion.

What do I think? I think she's 13. And I think her dad was on David Letterman, so I think I'd take the legal portion with a grain of salt.

I'm not a fan of either one, really, but I do think Tallulah is much more of a "real" name than Lulah. Why doesn't she just go by her middle name?

AJ, enjoying life with C.

hello!! well, im not a big fan of any of the names that demi moore and bruce willis gave their kids-but lulah belle?? yeah-that does sound very backwoods to me too-i think i would have just kept the tallulah and just stick with being called lulah...to each their own, i guess...take care!

I wanted to legally change my name when I was 13.

Like others have mentioned, I think everyone wants to change their name when they're 13 ... once they actually CAN, however, not that many really do. LOL I'd assume she feels Tallulah is too "old" at the moment, just like a teenage Margaret might insist on being called Maggie 100% of the time. Not that unusual. ;)

FWIW, though, Lula(h) IS a natural/traditional shortening of Tallulah, so unless she takes actual legal steps to drop the beginning portion, she's not "changing" her name in the least. No more than an Elizabeth who goes by Beth or a Delaney who's called Laney.
