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

I thought of Matilda too! That's weird - I wonder why Matilda and Tabitha are so linked in people's minds.
How about these?....
Ramona
Genevieve
Abigail nn Abbie
Iris - Greek goddess of the rainbow.

This might not be too similar but throwing it out there:
Elodie?
How annoying!! I would still call her Tabitha, and just say "I did tell you that's the name we are going to use". 
www.nymbler.com/ is a good site for putting in a name and it suggests similar names.

What a c-o-w.
How did she tell you that she'd registered her as Tabitha? Did she pretend she'd loved it all along?
