I think this will be the name for yellow bump if girl, only 5 days to d.day. But wanted any opinions on this name. Also do you know any Tabithas out there? My daughter is Matilda. Many thanks

Like it and, as noted above, it works well with Matilda. Prefer Tibby to Tabby as far as nicknames go.

Would also place Jemima in the same category as Tabitha & Matilda so that might be another one to consider.

It's lovely. Smile

Really like it, but don't like nn Tabby. Goes well with Matilda.

I love it. It is the name I chose for our tooth fairy (!) as DH won't let me put it on the list for our DD.

If you have read Jilly Cooper - reminds me of Rupert CB's daughter.

I don't know any in RL.

Love it, and it goes well with Matilda too.
Tabitha was on our short list until our yellow bump turned out to be blue!

I love the name Tabitha, I think it goes well with Matilda.

Lovely name - I know a Tabitha and she's one of my DDs best friends at school (they're nearly 4yo). Tabitha's name gets shortened to Tabby, Tab and Tabs :)
