      English, word name

Royal names such as King and Prince, once thought of as canine, have begun to be used by human non-royals for their sons.

The name has a distinctly playful, informal quality that evokes nostalgic connections to the beloved cartoon character known for his loyalty, humor, and gentle nature despite his fears. The name's origins appear to be purely creative, possibly derived as a variation of 'Scoobert,' the character's fictional full name. Parents who choose this highly uncommon name likely appreciate its whimsical qualities, pop culture associations, and the cheerful, friendly personality it suggests.

As a first name, Tulley has a friendly, approachable quality with its soft sounds and cheerful ending. While relatively uncommon in contemporary usage, it carries an appealing blend of traditional Celtic heritage and playful sound.

Tulley shares some phonetic similarities with more common names like Tully or Tyler, making it accessible despite its rarity.

      English word name

    • Description:

      Sweet but sharp, Lemon was given to a surprising 50 girls back in 2021, while in a more recent year, it was given to just shy of 30.
