Mumsnet Talk

So SIL stole our baby name!

We mentioned Tabitha as our choice of name and she the bitch went and registered her unnamed new daughter as Tabitha. Growl.

Can you suggest anything similar? It's definitely a girl so we only need girl names.

Thank you

Matilda
Madeline
Elizabeth
Saskia
Thea
Clara
Athena
Martha
Josephine
Francesca

Any good?

Love Tabitha - but that's not much help!
How about:
Matilda
Miranda
Georgia
Verity
Phoebe
Rebecca
Anything there that you would consider?

X-post but Matloda obviously sprang to mind for us both!

Perdita

Harriet
Serena
Jemima
Flora
Lucille
Francesca
Tamsin
Tallulah
Talitha

Matilda I mean!

But Talitha might be just a wee bit too close for cousins...

Matilda and Tallulah are lovely, Matilda will definitely be going on the short list!

Gah, how annoying!!

I knew a Tamlyn once, always thought it was a pretty name!

I know a Petronella - Nella for short.

I'm liking Claudia and Arabella, Matilda is my favourite so far though.

Thanks for the link Molotov that's fab

Marian - I have had slightly psychopathic thoughts but I decided to just get over it, I still have a niece with a beautiful name if not my own daughter!

Tabitha is so dreadful, your sil has done you such a favour. what about beatrix or Claudia? Eliza is lovely too. Christabel is fabulous.

What a cow! I have a Tabitha and I'm having another girl in 10 weeks so I am in a similar boat. I LOVE Thea but have a friend with a daughter called Thea. Plus it's quite similar really. How about that?
I do love Matilda and Mathilde too.
Martha?
Our short list is Ada, Claudia and Edie. I love Romilly too but DH has vetoed.

Before reading past the title I thought Matilda too!
