Had settled on one of these early in pregnancy but having a few last minute wobbles. So brainstorming again.
Out of interest which do people prefer?

Erica definitely. Tabitha is a cat to me although seems to be highly rated on mumsnet and Violet is too similar to violent.

Oooh, tough one!

I think Erica, then Violet, then Tabitha.

Erica was one of DH's choices for DS. It's lovely.

By which I mean, we couldn't use Erica because we had DS. Not that he wanted to name our son Erica Blush

I think tabitha and violet are beautiful. Violet being my favourite. Erica sounds harsh in my accent.

I like Violet best, then Erica, with Tabitha a very distant third.

Violet. (Although the similarity to 'violent' has always bothered me.)

I have never liked Erica and Tabitha is catty.

Erica. Violet is lovely too but popular I think, and Tabitha is a cat.

Tabitha (as I have one, and she is very cat like Hmm ... Well, actually she does have long limbs, likes to laze around and loves having her tummy rubbed ...)

Then Violet and Erica.

Tabitha Violet sounds nice ...

DH doesn't like Violet so thats out. Our chosen name is Erica. But I am getting lots of pulled faces when I tell people ( I know it is stupid to tell people). So just brainstorming to make sure there isn't anything else I have missed. What do people think of Talitha instead of Tabitha?
Any other suggestion welcome.

I still prefer Erica over Talitha. Talitha is much nicer than Tabitha though!

Tatiana maybe?

Violet is the only name I like, no love from your list, it would be my DC2s name but do not like Erica or Tabitha at all.

Both of those sounds very twee, average and a bit common to me, sorry.
