Cloris Leachman has a granddaughter with this name.

So it's not too out there. :-D I don't like it, though. It's a mouthful and Lulu has always sounded incredibly silly to me.

This is an elderly memory and not really worth checking, but I'm sure that Dorothy L Sayers used Hallelujah as the given name of a charismatic West Indian church minister who was, I think, wrongfully accused of something until Lord Peter came along and sorted things out, to the benefit of the gentleman, his wife (?) and "all the little Hallelujahs".

Hey! This is one of my favorite GP girls names! I don't know if I would do Lulu, but Halle, JaJa (yah-yah) or Lelu (lay-lou or lee-lou) might be good choices for my little Hallelujah.

Thank you for sharing, I almost forgot her for a while!!! :-)

I don't mind it as a GP at all! Goes well with one I love: Hosanna. :) And if I didn't have such a level-headed husband, I might actually consider Hosanna for a real child. So yeah, Hallelujah is nice. Personally I despise Lulu, so I'd go with Lujah. Lujah and Sanna. :)

It reminds me of the Russian last name Alliluyeva. Nadezhda Alliluyueva was Stalin's second wife. I think it should stay on the GP list.

I wouldn't do it... It would take a very unique child to manage to live with that as a name... and I wouldn't want to be stuck w/ Lulu as a nn... for anything.

I love it! I don't know why because overly religious names are not for me and Lulu is such a silly name but when I see them together like that I love it. It's fun and happy and crazy. :D

Haha that would be tons of fun. I would love to meet a Hallelujah nn Lulu.

Hmmm, I actually don't see why this wouldn't catch on in some evangelical circles... Hosanna and Jubilee are popular enough there already...

It's super OTT buuuut I like it with the nn Hallie. Maybe a new GP? Not quite ready to commit to that one yet! ;)

Way totally fun. Love it.

I kinda think Alleluia is a bit prettier, but Hallelujah is way funnier. And suits Lulu better.

THUMBS UP as long as I don't have to go to church
