Or any alternatives?

Is Tabitha too feline?
Is Phoebe massively popular?
Not sure about Lilia!

Any alternatives? What else might I like?

I love Tabitha, won't be feline at all on a child! And I don't think there are many Phoebe's about. Lots of Lily's, lila's, Lola's etc which might put me of Lilia a bit but I think I just prefer the other two.

Tabitha is pretty but adore Phoebe - Shining Moon !

Tabitha or phoebe. Neither are really popular and both are lovely!

TAbitha is a cat.

Phoebe

I like lilia and it i think it is different enough from lily which ha been very popular.

I don't think Tabitha is too feline at all.

Phoebe is lovely too.

All would be great names :)

I have a Phoebe so am biased, but I love it and Phoebelicious is a lovely nickname

Wbdn28 · 08/07/2013 11:14

Yes, Tabitha is too feline.

Phoebe is a lovely name. I don't know any little Phoebes so wouldn't consider it "massively popular".

Lilia is quite nice, or how about Liliana?

lurcherlover · 08/07/2013 11:33

Lilia makes me think lil-lets, personally...sorry OP!

squoosh · 08/07/2013 13:23

Tabitha is by far my favourite. The cat thing doesn't put me off at all. People on here are constantly saying 'Molly/Max/Poppy......' are pet's names too.

Phoebe is nice enough but a bit popular.

Lilia is also quite nice but there are loads of Lil type names around at the mo.

Tabitha is wonderful, I have one, maybe I shouldn't encourage you - it seems to be coming up on MN more and more often....still less used than Phoebe though.

Not keen on Lilia.

Tabitha is a marmite name. People who don't like it always mention cats, what they will never understand is that the feline qualities are part of what makes it such a fab name. Plus, no-one ever says Tom is a cat's name yet there are many more Tom cats than Tabithas.

Tabitha is one of my favourite names ! x

Tabitha. A bit feline but wouldn't bother me at all. Phoebe is pretty too.
