Tabitha

[Golfbuggy1]

I don't mind cat associations nor the inevitable Tabby and Tabs, particularly.

Interested to hear thoughts other than those! I love it and dh actually agrees 'it's ok'

[buntingbingo]

I think that the nicknames are usually they only issue people have with the name Tabitha, so if you like them then go for it. I think it's a beautiful name and the nicknames are cute but also 'cool' for a teen/young person. But she can always stick with the full name when she's older.

[Stumbleine]

One of my favourite names! We almost used it for our last dd. Dh not so keen this time around and I have also decided the syllables are a bit of a mouthful with our surname.

[sonlypuppyfat]

It makes me think of cats and witches, sorry

[JasperDamerel]

I really like it. Two of my friends have daughters called Tabitha.

[TroysMammy]

I've always loved it. I know a little girl called Tabby and she's lovely and an absolute delight.

[timelytess]

Fabulous name. My rabbit (one of them) was called Tabitha.

[cosmicglittergirl]

One of my favourite names!

[2ManySweets]

I love those even if I do associate it with Tabitha Twitchet (of Beatrix Potter fame)

V nearly called DD that but another name made the final cut x

[RadicalPessimist]

I love it. The Tabitha I know is a teenager and is knows as 'Tab' or 'Tabs'.

[rainytea]

Love it. Only reason DD isn't that is because it's not pronounced "properly" in DH's language.

I've never known anyone named Tabitha, so it reminds me of three things:

1. Tabitha from Bewitched
   
2. Martha B. Rabbit and Tabitha Cat
   
3. Tabitha Twitchit from the Beatrix Potter books
   

I wouldn't say any of them are "bad" associations, but they're not great associations either. It just depends on whether or not it bothers you.

[Sophronia]

I love it!

[MidnightVelvetthe5th]

I like it, don't let people telling you its a cats name put you off! My DS is called what people would say is a dog's name (Max) but I've never met a dog called Max & he would find it funny if he did!

Tabitha is lovely, I also like Tamsin or Thomasin from the Thomas Hardy book

[nectarini1983]

If you don't mind the 'cat' thing then for it!

[MrsGsnow18]

I absolutely love it!!! Really like the nicknames too. I've never met a Tabitha so don't imagine it's that common either which is good.

[fattyfattytoadgirl]

I LOVE that name.

I also love Tabby and Tabs (but then I love cats too!).

I have often thought about changing my name and Tabitha would be a name I'd like for myself. However, I don't think I really look like a Tabitha and likely couldn't carry it off.

[mrsclooneytoyou]

It's adorable

[TheHobbitMum]

My last DD is a Tabitha, we love it (obviously). There isn't any others around, that we know off, in school, clubs etc Her nickname is Tabby, Tabs or TibbyTabbyToo lol

[Oysterbabe]

I like it and I think Tabs is a cute nn.

[TheHobbitMum]

Oh her second name is Rose. We left it to the other 3 kids to choose, our son loved Dr Who's Rose character so put that forward and it goes together very well x

[Golfbuggy1]

I wasn't expecting such a lot of support for it! Thanks everyone, so far it's the only name we've agreed on, and now mn has okayed it, it can stay top of the list

[Eeeek686]

Totally love it!!! DD2 was to be Tabitha but she turned out to be DS.....

[PterodactylToenails]

I never used to like it and it did used to remind me of cats. BUT I met a newborn Tabitha the other day and I thought the name sounded lovely, I also thought it was refreshing to hear a name which isn't so overused.

[Rowenleaves]

My favourite girls name! If I ever have a girl this is what she will be called.

Other girls names I love are: Lydia, Matilda, Rosalind and Anna.

[CalmItKermitt]

Tabitha Campbell-Black!

Love it and would have used it if I'd had a girl 😄
