Or any alternatives?

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

Any alternatives? What else might I like?

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

Queazy · 08/07/2013 18:23

Tabitha is one of my favourite names ! x

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 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.

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

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 10:08

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

bugsybill · 08/07/2013 09:55

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 :)

Phoebe

MustafaCake · 08/07/2013 08:39

Like Phoebe best.

TAbitha is a cat.

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

tilbatilba · 08/07/2013 06:54

Tabitha is pretty but adore Phoebe - Shining Moon !

whyno · 08/07/2013 05:59

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.
