Names that sound like Tabitha

53 replies

10isenough · 07/02/2011 23:03

We are expecting dc3 and husband is convinced its a girl. We are trying to think of names (for both genders really) which would fit with our or dd's (dd1 Matilda & dd2 Henrietta). We both like Tabitha but our niece is called Tabitha.
Can anyone think of something which sounds like Tabitha or which would go with other dc's names??

Thanks in advance for any replies!

chlo13 this thread was a zombie thread.

Little Tabitha's probably starting school in September.

Agatha, Addison, Addy or Addie, Abby, Alyssa, Lydia, Tabby, Taylor, Maggie, Teresa, Serena, Phoebe. Honestly, it seems fine to name your child Tabitha in your situation, even if the niece has the same name. Maybe you could add something to it, make it a double name. Tabitha Ann, Tabitha Sue, Tabitha Leigh, Tabitha Grace, etc.

I love Thea... that sounds lovely with Matilda and Henrietta?

I like Talitha, its how the little girl in the bible is referred to, who is brought back to life by Jesus, talitha meaning little girl.

Habitharg is a fantastic name!

JKettlesbury · 09/02/2011 22:10

i had a great aunt (sadly deceased) with the name Habitharg, however it seems slightly outdated for the present day (an 18th century name of scottish decent so i am led to believe)

A tale - One of my aunties liked the name Pauline for her daughter but a neighbour beat her to it when she gave birth first. My auntie then named her daughter Pollynn, which sounds like - but isn't quite - the name she wanted to use in the first place.
My advice would be to name your child Tabitha as it is the name you want. Don't compromise as you might regret it in future. x.x
