We’ve hit a bit of a stalemate on the following names, two I love, two DP loves. Which would you choose and why?

Beatrice / Aaliyah / Christabel / Tabitha

Thank you!

Tabitha.

Aaliyah is a gorgeous name with a better mouthfeel than Tabitha. At least to me anyway.

Aaliyah has much more meaning than a singer. Hmm

Beatrice by preference but Cristabel (also prefer this spelling) is nice too.

I had a very unfortunate experience with a Tabitha so I’m prejudiced against the name. Grin

Christabel. I think it's lovely, and I predict it will get more popular over the next 10 years Smile

I’m not fussed about any but Beatrice and Aaliyah are awful.

Petitepamplemousse · 24/02/2018 02:29

Not Aaliyah. It's awful. Also... as a teacher I teach three, all of whom are mouthy and naughty! The others are all fine.

Christabel.

VimFuego101 · 24/02/2018 02:19

If you choose Aaliyah some people will make an association with the singer...are you a fan of hers?

Argeles · 24/02/2018 02:15

Christabel is lovely, but for me I’d spell it ‘Cristabel,’ without the h.

HuskyMcClusky · 24/02/2018 02:04

Christabel, with Christa for short. Pretty.

I hate Beatrice (an absolute mumsnet fave, though). Aaliyah always makes me think of the dead American singer (sorry). Tabitha is a cat or a witch. Or a witch’s cat.

Tabitha (because I know one and she's cute!)

Meandmy4 · 24/02/2018 01:55

Tabitha 😍

Tabitha. Love it.
