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

One of DD's primary school friends, now in year 7, lovely girl, her friends shorten it to tabba.

One 14 year old sitting next to me.

Fab name

ScrambledEggAndToast · 28/03/2015 20:04

1 and she's early forties. I always think of it as something you would name a cat though.

Orangeisthenewbanana · 28/03/2015 19:55

None at all!

Toadsrevisited · 28/03/2015 19:54

Two. One in 40s and one teen. Great name.

spiderlight · 28/03/2015 19:47

I know one, who's 7, known as Tabby and it suits her perfectly.

callamia · 28/03/2015 19:41

Two, both are toddlers.

ralinax294 · 28/03/2015 19:36

2, both teenagers.

ditavonteesed · 28/03/2015 15:27

only 1, the 11 year old sat on my sofa, in yorkshire.

tomandizzymum · 28/03/2015 15:24

I know one that's in the 35-45 age group. Don't know her actual age.

None (kids or cats). And haven't taught any, despite last nine years working in girls schools. But I'm in Australia, so maybe not v helpful! It was my second choice for DD, but vetoed by DH, along with my first choice Angry.

LittleBairn · 28/03/2015 12:51

I know one aged about 10. I know a lot of kids having been a nanny for years and it is not a name I would consider popular.

OddBoots · 28/03/2015 11:50

Only cats, I don't know any children with the name.

silverfingersandtoes · 28/03/2015 11:50

DH wouldn't have either of our DDs called Tabitha because it's a cat's name. So I got a cat.

KittensOnAPlane · 28/03/2015 11:49

1 - my niece - 20yrs old

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 28/03/2015 11:45

There were sisters at my school called Samantha and Tabitha. They'll both be around 40 ish. Their DM insisted it was an unfortunate coincidence and nothing to do with Bewitched Grin.

Sparrowlegs248 · 28/03/2015 11:38

I know of 2, was at school with both of them so they would both be late 30's now. East Anglia

TempsPerdu · 28/03/2015 11:25

Don't know any personally, and haven't yet taught any (I'm in London). According to the ONS it ranked #191 in 2013, and there were 287 Tabithas born that year (monitoring it slightly as we're ttc at the mo and Tabitha would be a real contender gif we were to have a girl - love it!). Really hoping it doesn't suddenly take off like Amelia/Olivia/Sophia.

DertieBertie · 28/03/2015 11:21

One, who would now be 21, in the South East.

IvanOsokin · 28/03/2015 11:16

I know one who is five in London.

RL20 · 28/03/2015 11:14

I don't know any Tabitha's and I'm in the Midlands

pickwickcrocus · 28/03/2015 11:08

None.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 28/03/2015 11:07

None. However I hAd a friend whose mum wanted to call her Tabitha but her dad put his foot down and point blank refused. And she'd be 38 now

BoobooChild · 28/03/2015 10:50

None in real life but whenever I hear the name I immediately think of T. Bag, the children's televison programme, with Tabitha and Tallulah Bag.
