Just that really....love the name but have track record of picking names that then become super popular!

The only one I can think of is my old boss's DD. She must be about 20 by now.

GreatAuntDinah · 29/03/2015 13:49

One aged seven. I rather like it but it's a porn star name where I live in Europe.

YvesJutteau · 29/03/2015 13:06

Oh, and come to think of it I knew one when I was a child who would be late 30s now, so I suppose that makes it four altogether.

I have never met anyone in real life, child or adult, called Tabitha.

I think it's nice.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 29/03/2015 12:11

None

poocatcherchampion · 29/03/2015 12:10

We always said wed call a third daughter Tabitha and I am just pregnant. The only problem is a distant relative who is 12 ish who has put us off somewhat...

ClarasZoo · 29/03/2015 12:06

Two in my kids school and a distant relation, so pretty commonly used at mo IMO.

abigboydidit · 28/03/2015 23:06

None. Scotland.

Lovely name!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 28/03/2015 23:06

Oh and it will forever mean Tabitha Campbell-Black to me - though perhaps Jilly Cooper's influence will fade eventually... It's a lovely name.

BadPoet · 28/03/2015 23:06

2, one is 8 and one about 13. Scotland. Lovely name!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 28/03/2015 23:04

Just one, she is almost 1 year old.

AuntieUrsula · 28/03/2015 23:03

I know one in Reception

flowerygirl · 28/03/2015 20:41

I've never met one. Very classy name. Go for it !

MaryhadalittleDamn · 28/03/2015 20:18

One. Essex, late 30s.

MehsMum · 28/03/2015 20:17

One, East Anglia, early 20s, known as Tab.
Lovely girl. Lovely name, too.

YvesJutteau · 28/03/2015 20:16

Three -- one aged 18, one aged 5, one aged 4.

Marcipex · 28/03/2015 20:16

One in Devon, she must be about 40. No children, and I know a lot of children.
Very pretty name.

Essexgirlupnorth · 28/03/2015 20:16

One she is 5ish

Ulysses · 28/03/2015 20:15

It's been used in our family for generations. My great gran, great aunt, aunt and her granddaughter are all called Tabitha. I'd love to have called my first it, but DH wasn't so keen. It is her middle name though. Haven't met any more.

Floggingmolly · 28/03/2015 20:14

One, she's eight. Known as Tabby.

Elfina · 28/03/2015 20:14

Mine! We're in London.

Fishandjam · 28/03/2015 20:11

One - Mrs Tabitha Twitchett, Tom Kitten's mum.

LoveGigi · 28/03/2015 20:09

I have a Tabitha who is 6mo and I have since met two others, a 6 and 7yo. I love the name and it suits our DD perfectly. I have had not one ounce of uncertainty in naming her Tabitha. Although when I tell people her name I very very rarely get any comments a long the lines of "oh that's a nice name..." Most people say nothing. Occasionally someone gushes about how much they love the name too though which is nice.
