Matilda, Tabitha, Ella or Nina: which is your favourite? Last name is two syllables and fairly common. Middle name will be Catherine.

Ella by a mile! Love it!

Nina

I think it's lovely and by far the most unusual of your list, without being at all odd (not that the other names are odd).

Which name do you and your dp prefer?

Ooh difficult, I love all of these names!

Tabitha then Nina I think.

Nina. If I had a DD4 (I won't!) she'd be Nina. Unusual and lovely.

Ella, by far. Nina a distant second, and I wouldn't consider the other two.

Oooh... gotta be Nina. I knew a Nina at school, she's the only one I've ever met and she was ridiculously pretty. Really lovely person too. 😊

Not Tabitha. You're having a baby not a kitten
Too many Matildas
Ella is okay a but a bit harsh sounding and very overused
Nina is gorgeous. Sweet, unique pretty graceful and elegant.

Matilda.

Too many Ellas in every class these days. Not so keen on Nina. Feels like a nickname not a whole name,

Ella or Nina. Don't like Tabitha and whilst I like Matilda, I hate the nns - Mattie, Tilly, Tilda.

Nina. Ella is dullish and the others are cat names.

Matilda, lovely name, also love Tilda as a nn.

Ella is very popular ATM, and not keen on Nina or Tabitha.

Ella or Matilda.

Not a fan of Tabitha, indifferent to Nina

Tabitha. Ella too popular. I have a name similar to nina and I don't hate it but I don't love it.

Another vote here for Nina: lovely and underused compared to your other choices. However you wouldn't do badly with Tabotha or Matilda though. Ellas are ten a penny and it's a cutesy name IMHO.

Nina, definitely.

Wow I did not expect Nina to be so
popular! I thought it the most controversial. I love it though. For me it's between Nina and Matilda. DH is a big fan of Tabitha and Ella but would agree to my two.

I'm not keen on Tabitha but all the others are nice. Matilda is my favourite.
