I love the name Tabitha but can't decide if it sounds ok with 'Taylor'. What do you think? Oh and Please don't tell me it's a cat's name - it isn't! Wink

Unless it gets shortened to Tabby/Tab -in which case Tabby Taylor doesn't sound so great.

I think it sounds lovely!!

I wanted to call my cat Tabitha but hubby said no Sad

I asked him that if we had a baby girl could we call her Tabitha??
He said no to that too! Grr!

Tabitha Taylor is beautiful, I would love to have that name Smile

Thanks everyone Smile . I'll have to make sure she keeps her own sur name if marrying a pilkington-smyth!

Will it sound really shit then if people shorten it to tabbie or tabs? I won't but I'm guessing kids at school will.

Sounds good to me. I've never met a cat called Tabitha Taylor either.

Gorgeous!

But then I have a Tabitha too, so I might be biased! Wink

I dont normally like first and surnames beginning with the same letter at all but it's not too bad.
