Help me decide! (I realise names not to everyone's taste but I love them all)

I don't get the cat thing either. Felix has shaken off its cat associations to reach the heights of the mega trendy.

I don't see the problem with the cat thing, either! I mean, there are worse things to be associated with.

Tabitha is lovely.

Bryony is kind of pretty but sounds like Brian.

Would you consider June?

timelytess · 02/11/2015 11:22

My rabbit is called Tabitha (because I love the name) and I abbreviate that to Tabby.

Salene · 02/11/2015 11:15

Tabitha is a upper class name and I associate it with being posh.

I don't associate it with a cat

Juno yes I think if that film

And I just don't like the last night so if I had to pick I would go for Tabitha which will get shortened to tabs as everyone I know with that name is called tabs

timelytess · 02/11/2015 11:13

That sounds disrespectful to Australians! My apologies!

timelytess · 02/11/2015 11:12

Tabitha. Its the only real name in your selection. Juno is for a dog and Bryony is for Australians.

handonhip · 02/11/2015 11:07

Tabitha!

TempsPerdu · 02/11/2015 09:12

Tabitha is gorgeous - this would be my choice. Quite like Juno but think it might be a bit faddy, and Bryony just makes me think of Brian.

Love Tabitha, really wanted it for DD but DH vetoed. I don't have a problem with the 'cat connection' and would have used nn Tabby.

Prefer Juniper to Juno.

Indole · 01/11/2015 23:08

Tabitha and Juno are lovely.

Bryony is kind of 90s.

Elbelle6 · 01/11/2015 22:46

I love Tabitha and think it's about time we rescued it back from the cats!!

celtictoast · 01/11/2015 22:24

Bryony or Juno.

Junosmum · 01/11/2015 21:59

Juno

reuset · 01/11/2015 21:05

Juno is the only one I dislike. One of the popular 'unusual' and very on trend choices within certain circles. Meh

Shemozzle · 01/11/2015 20:58

Tabitha and Juno always been on my girls shortlist! Love them both equally. I don't like Bryony. It reminds me of Brian. I think I prefer Tabitha. But my best friend in school was Tabitha so maybe biased. Plus one of my daughters has a 'cat' name so that doesn't bother me. I looked up stats for Juno and it really isn't trendy at the moment so I disagree with a previous poster about it dating.

JanuaryJuniper · 01/11/2015 19:49

Love Juno, it's really great!

ashesandfire · 01/11/2015 19:40

I like Bryony.

Tabitha might or might not be my name in real life Xmas Wink i happen to like it very much but I love Bryony!

Grace893 · 01/11/2015 18:58

I like Bryony

BettyBi0 · 01/11/2015 18:56

Please not Bryony. It sounds a bit drippy and whiney not sure why.

LOVE Tabitha and really wanted to use it for my DD1 but got such negative reactions from friends and family that I didn't use it. I've met a couple of little Tabithas since she was born and it just seemed such a perfect little name on them but their families were a zillion times posher than mine haha.

Juno just reminds me of the film with the pregnant teenager although I like the way it sounds when said with an English accent.

happydollplease · 01/11/2015 18:40

Tabitha. Bryony my name and hate it. Hideous and have not forgiven my parents for calling me it. Juno is equally awful.

Lunastarfish · 01/11/2015 18:14

Juno
